Aurustumistsükkel

Aurustumistsükkel refers to the process of evaporation and condensation that occurs naturally in the Earth's atmosphere. It is a fundamental part of the water cycle and plays a crucial role in distributing water across the planet. The cycle begins with solar energy heating water bodies, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, causing the water to transform into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. This process is known as evaporation. As the water vapor ascends, it cools and eventually condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, forming clouds. This is condensation. When these droplets or crystals become too heavy to remain suspended in the atmosphere, they fall back to Earth as precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Once on the ground, the water may flow into rivers and oceans, be absorbed by plants, or seep into the ground, replenishing groundwater sources. This water can then evaporate again, continuing the cycle. The aurustumistsükkel is vital for maintaining life on Earth, providing fresh water for ecosystems and human use, and influencing weather patterns and climate.
