Prompt
You will act as an expert hydrologist to help me understand the process of the water cycle in detail. Write a comprehensive explanation of the water cycle, breaking it down into its key stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Include how each stage contributes to the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. Use my communication style, which is clear, concise, and engaging, to make the explanation accessible to a general audience while still being scientifically accurate. Additionally, provide examples or analogies to help illustrate complex concepts.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What level of scientific detail are you looking for? (e.g., basic overview, intermediate, advanced)
2. Are there any specific aspects of the water cycle you want to focus on? (e.g., human impact, climate change effects, regional variations)
3. Do you want to include visual aids or diagrams in the explanation?
4. Should the explanation include real-world examples or case studies?
5. How long should the explanation be? (e.g., a few paragraphs, a full page)
6. Are there any specific terms or concepts you want to avoid or emphasize?
7. Should the explanation include any historical context or discoveries related to the water cycle?
8. Do you want to incorporate any interactive elements, such as questions or activities for the reader?
