Answer:
When water changes state in the water cycle, the total number of water
particles remains the same. The changes of state include melting,
sublimation, evaporation, freezing, condensation, and deposition. All
changes of state involve the transfer of energy. The water particles in each
state behave as energy is absorbed or released. . Condensation, deposition,
and freezing are processes that occur as a result of a decrease in the heat
energy of water particles.
