The complete water cycle consists of: 1. Evaporation: Water from oceans, rivers, lakes and other bodies of water is heated by the sun and evaporates in the form of water vapor in the atmosphere. 2. Transpiration: Plants also release water into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. 3. Condensation: In the atmosphere, water vapor cools and condenses into small droplets, forming clouds. 4. Precipitation: When clouds become laden with water, it falls back to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, or sleet. 5. Surface runoff: When water is not absorbed by the soil, it flows into rivers, streams, and oceans. 6. Infiltration: Part of the rainwater is absorbed by the soil and infiltrates it, forming aquifers. 7. Transfusion: When water seeps into the soil, it can migrate through the geological layers and reappear in another location, such as a spring or a well. 8. Evapotranspiration: The cycle repeats itself, with water evaporating from the Earth's surface and plants releasing water vapor into the atmosphere.
