Water Cycle Concepts and Processes

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, a continuous process where water evaporates, forms clouds, and returns as precipitation. It covers key stages: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, and introduces the concept of phantom rain, where rain evaporates before reaching the ground in deserts. Key terms like evaporation, condensation, and collection are defined, providing a comprehensive understanding of the water cycle.

What is the water cycle primarily about?

• The movement of water through different states and locations.

• The process of water being used by plants.
