Q. What source of water greatly affects the water cycle?
The ocean plays a key role in this vital cycle of water. The ocean holds 97% of the total water on the planet; 78% of global precipitation occurs over the ocean, and it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.
Q. How does the amount of water circulating in the water cycle change?
Water can change to become ice or water vapor. Water vapor can change to become ice or water. These continuous changes in state create a cycle of repeating events. Water continually circulates between the surface of Earth and its atmosphere in what is called the hydrologic or water cycle.

Q. Does water’s state of matter change during the water cycle?
When water changes state in the water cycle, the total number of water particles remains the same. The changes of state include melting, sublimation, evaporation, freezing, condensation, and deposition. All changes of state involve the transfer of energy.
Q. What is water cycle diagram?
It is also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle. During the process of the water cycle between the earth and the atmosphere, water changes into three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas. The diagram of the water cycle is useful for both Class 9 and 10.
Q. How do you explain the water cycle?
The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
Q. How do you make a simple water cycle model?
How to make a water cycle model
- Place the mug in the bottom of the bowl.
- Add water around the mug so that it come up to ⅔rd of the mug – if you can draw on the bowl mark where the water level is.
- Cover the bowl tightly in clingfilm and fasten in place with the string.
- Watch what happens!
Q. Why is it called a water cycle?
The water cycle is called the hydrologic cycle. In the hydrologic cycle, water from oceans, lakes, swamps, rivers, plants, and even you, can turn into water vapor. Water vapor condenses into millions of tiny droplets that form clouds. Clouds lose their water as rain or snow, which is called precipitation.
Q. What are the main components of the water cycle?
The water cycle consists of three major processes: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Evaporation is the process of a liquid’s surface changing to a gas. In the water cycle, liquid water (in the ocean, lakes, or rivers) evaporates and becomes water vapor.
