The diagram shows the working of the water cycle.
The diagram illustrates the various stages in the water cycle. Overall, the water cycle is divided into a number of stages and the transformation of water into different states is primarily brought about by the power of the sun.
The sun produces adequate heat which forces the water in the sea, lakes and rivers to evaporate as invisible water vapour. At this stage of the water cycle, the water vapour accumulates in the sky with the help of the wind. Moreover, plants' and trees' transpiration occurs when vapours cool to form clouds. As the water vapour cools down, it forms clouds. The clouds then cool further, causing the vapour to fall into the earth in the form of rain.
The rain which falls on the ground travels on the ground into the lakes, rivers, and seas. Additionally, a portion of rainwater penetrates porous rocks becoming groundwater in the process, which eventually flows into lakes, rivers and seas. From this point, the water cycle begins again.
