The water cycle is the earth recycling it's finite (limited and fixed) amount of water! The water goes around and around which makes it a cycle. The water cycle is made up of 4 main parts: EVAPORATION-happens when the sun heats water up in River, Streams, Lakes and Oceans and turns it into Steam or Vapor. TRANSPIRATION is part of evaporation and gives it a hand. When people (you and me) sweat we perspire, well when a Plant "sweats" it Transpires! It is the process by which leaves of plants loose or "sweat" water. Transpiration helps Evaporation a little bit by getting the water vapor back in the air.
CONDENSATION-water vapors in the air turn cold and change back to a liquid, forming clouds. This is Condensation.
PRECIPITATION-the water vapor that's getting condensed and turning to liquid is getting very heavy in the clouds. The clouds get so heavy they release the liquid "water" and it falls back to the Earth as Rain, Snow, Sleet & Hail. COLLECTION-When the water falls to the Earth it lands on the Land, In the Rivers, Lakes, Streams and Oceans. On land it will become part of the Ground Water and plants and Animals will use it! Or it may drain or fall directly back into all the bodies of water on Earth, and the Cycle Begins again!

Decaying uranium atoms in the earth's crust result in Radon gas. Radon gas cannot be synthetically or commercially produced. It is produced as the result of the natural breakdown of uranium i.e. decaying uranium atoms. Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. People are exposed to Radon gas via the inhalation and ingestion of the gas. Because it is found in the ground, water or building materials, Radon gas can enter work buildings as well as private dwellings.

The retina of the eye has 2 types of sensory receptors or photoreceptors. They are the rod cells and the cone cells. The rod cells mostly found at the outer edge of the retina of the eye, which are numerous and more sensitive compared to the cone cells. The cone photoreceptors are found in the macula.

The rod photoreceptors are responsible for night vision mainly and function in dim light or less intense light, while the cone receptors are responsible for color sensitivity.

The rod photoreceptors are responsible for processing his ability to see objects in the darkness.
