EFFECTS OF WATER CYCLE
regulates the temperature of the surroundingschanges weather and creates rainhelps in conversion from rock to soilcirculate important minerals through the
spherescreates the many geographical features on
earth like the ice caps of mountains, icebergs, the rivers and the valleys, lakes and more.
EVAPORATION A process where water at the surface turns into water vapors. Through evaporation water moves from hydrosphere to atmosphere.
sublimationA process where ice directly converts into water vapors without converting into a liquid water.
PRECIPITATION The fall of water, ice, or snow deposited on the surface of the Earth from the atmosphere.
TRANSPIRATIONA process similar to evaporation where liquid water is turned into water vapor by the plants.
