Stages of the water cycle
In this video, Dr Michael Singer describes the first stages of the water cycle.
The water cycle is made up of different stores of water and the movement between those stores.
It include these processes:
Precipitation
This is the delivery of water from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface
Evaporation
This is the main process of returning water to the atmosphere from the Earth’s surface.
Transpiration
This is when plants take up water through their roots in the soil, and send that water up through their stems, and deliver it from their leaves back into the atmosphere.
