Synopsis: The image shows how the complete water cycle. Solar radiation is responsible for the evaporation of surface water through evapotranspiration. The evaporated water is stored in the atmosphere and can pass through two processes: condensation and sublimation. In the condensation process returns it to the soil in the form of precipitation, and sublimating water from the atmosphere passes directly to the solid state. Since the water passing through it can condensation process: return to bodies of water (river, ocean), be stored in the ice, and be infiltrated in underground areas. Groundwater returns to the water bodies, continuing the cycle.
