Describe the three steps that cause water to change during the water cycle

Water can either exist as a solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (water vapor). It often moves freely between these three states as a result of chemical changes largely due to temperature change. Ice melts and becomes water in its liquid form because of a temperature rise in the ice. Then water once again can change into its gaseous form water vapor when its temperature rises so that it boils and turns into a gas.
