What are the seven stages of the water cycle and what does each stage entail?

1) Evaporation. The sun hits bodies of water, warming the water, causing the water to become steam raising into the air.

2) Condensation. Once water vapor reaches a high altitude, the the water vapor cools down causing tiny water droplets to turn into ice, and build up in the atmosphere.

3) Sublimation. In the air, ice patricals convert into water vapor.

4) Precipitation. Once clouds are full of tiny water droplets, and ice. It becomes heavy, so the clouds release the water droplets. Then as there falling to the ground, they join together to make bigger water droplets.

5) Transpiration. Once water droplets reach the ground, they absord into the ground. Then if theres any plants near by, the plants absord the water and turn it back into water vapor.

6) Runoff. If rain water doesn't get absorbed into the ground, water normally collects together to create a runoff.

7) Infiltration. Rain water is absorbed into the ground, going deep under the upper mantle. Which the rain water becomes filtered, and will later on become ground water. Which is drinkable.
