Water cycle

The Water Cycle

Evaporation: The sun heats up water on the surface of the Earth, causing it to evaporate and form water vapor

Transpiration: Plants also release water vapor into the air through a process called transpiration

Condensation: As water vapor rises into the atmosphere, it cools and condenses into clouds.

Precipitation: When the clouds become heavy with water, precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Runoff: Precipitation that falls on land may flow into rivers, lakes, or oceans, or it may seep into the ground to become groundwater.
