What is The Water Cycle?

• The Water Cycle is the process of how water moves in the atmosphere in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• The water cycle is continous and will never end.
• There are 4 steps to The Water Cycle: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, and Runoff.

Evaporation

• Evaporation is when gas from lakes, oceans, and etc. goes to the clouds.
• The water has to heat up for it to rise to the clouds.
• The gas that goes up is called Water Vapor.

Condensation

• Condensation is when water vapor turns into a liquid.
• The temperature is cold when it condenses in the clouds.That makes the water fall down.
• When it falls down it creates precipitation.

Precipitation

• Precipitation is when rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls down to the earth.
• Snow is created when the temperature in the clouds gets too cold.
• Precipitation happens when the water droplets conjoin together in clouds until it gets heavy enough and pours down.

Runoff

• Runoff is when the rain or snow flows through the ground back into streams, oceans, lakes, etc.

Why is The Water Cycle important?

• The Water Cycle is important because without it we wouldn't have rain.
• If it didn't rain we wouldn't have water, plants may die, or all the fish would die.
• If it didn't rain we wouldn't have any water on our whole entire planet.

FUN FACTS!! YAY!!!

• Transpiration is the process of how plants sweat.
