In the water cycle, water exists as solid, liquid and gas. Water exists as ice at the glaciers, snow caps and in snow falls. Polar Regions of North and South Pole are entirely made of ice. Sometimes, seas and oceans also contain ice-bergs which are the solid form of water. It also exists as a gas in form of water vapour in the atmosphere.
