Question 1 of 55👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question. "The Water Cycle Water is constantly moving through the environment in a process called the water cycle. This cycle has four main stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. During evaporation, the sun's heat causes water from oceans, lakes, and rivers to turn into water vapor, which rises into the atmosphere. As water vapor rises higher into the cooler atmosphere, it condenses to form clouds through a process called condensation. When clouds collect enough water droplets, the water falls back to Earth as precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Finally, water collects in bodies of water or soaks into the ground, where the cycle begins again. The water cycle is essential for all life on Earth. It distributes freshwater to different parts of the world and regulates temperatures. Without the water cycle, many regions would become too dry or too wet to support plant and animal life." What is the main topic of the passage?
