These forms also play a great part in the hydrologic cycle. The hydrologic cycle takes place in the hydrosphere ,this is the region containing all the water in the atmosphere and on the surface of the earth. The cycle is the movement of water through this hydrosphere. The process begins with condensation , when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds. Condensation occurs when the temperature of the air or earth changes.
Water changes states when temperatures fluctuate.
So when the air cools enough, water vapor has to condense on particles in the air to form clouds. This process is very noticeable on plants as they dew in the morning. As clouds form, winds move them across the globe, spreading out the water vapor. When eventually the clouds can't hold the moisture, they release it in the form of precipitation, which can be snow, rain, hail, etc. Infiltration occurs when precipitation seeps into the ground.
