The main processes involved in the water cycle are:
- Evaporation: The water is evaporated from the oceans, land surface and also from the bodies.
- Condensation: The water raises, and condenses into clouds, which are form by water droplets.
- Rainfall: Water droplets that form clouds cool and form largest drops that rush to the Earth's surface. The rainfall can be solid (snow) or liquid (rain).
- Infiltration: The water that reaches the ground, penetrate the pores and becomes groundwater.
- Groundwater circulation: It's always down slope circulation. If the water stop in the ground, aquifers are form.
- Fusion: This change happens when snow becomes liquid at the melting occur.
- Solidification: When de water freeze, it rush as snow or hail. In the sea, a small tornado make the ice ascent. Then, the process start again, consecutively because the water never ends.
