The explanation of the movement of the water in the hydrologic cycle.
Answer to Problem 1QFR
The movement of the water takes place in the five stages in the hydrologic cycle.
* Evaporation
* Condensation
* Precipitation
* Transpiration
* Sublimation
Explanation of Solution
Figure-(1)
The figure above represents the Hydrological cycle.
The stages of the movement of the water in the hydrologic cycle are as follows:
* Evaporation: Evaporation is the process in which the liquid particles turns into the vapor form.
* Condensation: Condensation is the process in which the vapor form gets converted into the liquid form.
* Precipitation: Precipitation is the process in which the water droplets formed in the atmosphere falls to the surface of the Earth under the action of gravity.
* Transpiration: The process of the removal of the water in the form of the vapors is known as transpiration.
* Sublimation: Sublimation is the process in which the conversion of the solid form to the gaseous form takes place.
