The Water Cycle: From Evaporation to Precipitation

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, starting with evaporation from water bodies and transpiration from plants and animals, forming water vapor. This vapor rises, condenses into clouds, and eventually precipitates as rain or snow. The water then returns to water bodies through surface runoff or seeps into the ground as groundwater, completing the cycle. The tutorial emphasizes the continuous replenishment of water bodies and introduces the concept of the hydrological cycle.

Explain the term 'evapotranspiration'.

What is surface runoff and how does it occur?

How does the water cycle maintain a continuous circulation of water in nature?
