The water cycle is a continuous cycle of water within the earth and atmosphere, also known as the hydrologic cycle. It is a complex system involving many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, struggles to form clouds, and escapes back to earth in the form of rain and snow. When water evaporates, it absorbs energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and heats the environment. These heat exchanges affect the climate. Among the many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. So let's start this quiz and know something interesting facts about the Water Cycle.
