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.
