The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant

The provided diagram illustrates the

water

cycle process where

water

from natural sources is moved through the atmosphere, and

then

convert back to

water

resources.

Overall

, there are 3 main stages in the process including evaporation, precipitation, and returning back to

water

natural resources.

To begin

with, during the day, the heat of the sun causes approximately 80% of

water

in the ocean to evaporate and float into the air. After that, the clouds precipitate and produce rainfall or snow depending on the climate. At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take several paths. Some fall back into natural

water

resources

such

as oceans, and lakes. Some fall to the lands, and

then

the surface of each land is runoff combined with groundwater reaching the impervious layer of the earth. Saltwater intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the ocean to complete the cycle.
