Hydrological/ Water Cycle Steps With Diagram - BioNotes

                                           Water Cycle 

Water is  really a very  powerful factor of all ecosystem . All organisms need water for their survival and growth . Water has three phases - solid , liquid and gas . The liquid phase is important for living a life on planet and gaseous phase is important for the respiration process . Water cycle is also known by its another name" Hydrological Cycle ".

Water Cycle -   Water cycle is generally the journey of water from one place to another and from one state to another state . Their is  no end and it is a   continuous process that is why it is called "Cycle" .  Let us understand the water cycle

The sun heats the surface of earth as a result the water starts evaporating in the form of water vapor . The water vapor condense and change into liquid and  form clouds  this process is called as condensation . The water now fall from the clouds in the form of precipitation ( rain, snow  ) and collected into the water reservoir like see , ponds . lakes ,  river . Some of the water is absorbed into the earth surface as a ground water and use by plants and animal for drinking  purpose or it may be  run off from the soil and collected into the ocean  , river and lakes from where again cycle starts.


Importance of Water -

• Water is very important for survival of living organism . without water there is no existence of life on earth .
• Used in keeping community clean .
• Water is very essential for crop production .
• Water is important for the working of macro molecule as a good ionizer .
