Identify the role the evaporution and condensation play in earths water cycle
Tanzania [10]
Evaporation and condensation play major roles in the Earth's water cycle and how it functions. When water evaporates from the ocean due to the sun's energy, it rises in the air and condenses as clouds. Wind carries these clouds over land and eventually these cloud condense more by starting to rain. Once the rain falls, it runs off, and some/most of it returns back to the ocean, where the cycle repeats again. Hope this helps!
