Understand cycle of hydrology

                                        Hydrology cycle


The hydrology cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation.

Evaporation  
 :- Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid phase.


Water
 :- Water (chemical formula: H2O) is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of organisms.
Vapor


 :- In physics a vapor (American English spelling) or vapour (British) is a substance in the gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical point, which means that the vapor can be condensed to a liquid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature.


                               
   

                                                           

         Precipitation :- precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.         


Condensation :- Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water.Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises,cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets.
