2 What are the four main stages of the water cycle?The four main stages of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
3 What happens during the evaporation stage of the water cycle?During the evaporation stage, heat from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other sources to turn into vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
4 What happens during the condensation stage of the water cycle?During the condensation stage, water vapor in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water, forming clouds.
5 What happens during the precipitation stage of the water cycle?During the precipitation stage, water in the form of rain, snow, hail, or sleet, falls from the clouds to the ground.
