The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

The provided diagram illustrates the

water

cycle

that is

a natural precess, and takes place in three different parts: on, above, beneath the surface of our planet.

Overall

,

this

process consists of five distinct phases, commencing with evaporation of

water

and culminating with intrusion of salt

water

.

To begin

with,

water

evaporates by the heating energy provided by the sun. In comparison to other

water

resources, oceans play a significant role as approximately 80% of all

water

vapour is garnered by their

water

. Prior to formation of clouds, the condensation of

water

vapour should be completed. In the subsequent stage, the

water

precipitates either in lakes or on mountains' peak. Afterwards, once the precipitation stage has finished, the groundwater, composing of two primary sources:

water

from lakes and molten snow from summits, flows toward the ocean

while

passing impervious layer. In the final phase, the main stream divides, and in the following the

water

goes through a salt

water

intrusion step before entering the ocean.
