There are 4 major steps in the water cycle. 

  • Evaporation: This is when the heat of the sun causes water from the oceans, lakes and streams to rise into the air and transform into water vapour.
  • Condensation: This is when the water vapour in the air cools and converts to liquid water.
  • Precipitation: This is when water falls from clouds in different forms.
  • Collection: Collection is done when water falling from clouds such as rain, snow, hail or sleet accumulates in the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams.
