The water cycle refers to the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves processes like:
* Evaporation: Liquid water changes into water vapor.
* Condensation: Water vapor changes into liquid water, forming clouds.
* Precipitation: Water falls back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
* Collection: Water gathers in rivers, lakes, oceans, and underground.
Transcription, on the other hand, is a process that occurs within living organisms, specifically in their cells, as a crucial step in protein synthesis.
It's important to distinguish between biological processes like transcription and the natural cycles that occur in the environment.
