WATER CYCLE

EVAPORATION

• Evaporation is when water gets heated up and it turns into water vapor
• You can't see water vapor, but you can feel it, a humid day is when there is lots of water vapor.

TRANSPIRATION

• Transpiration is evaporation out of the plants.
• The heat evaporates the water in the plants.

CONDENSATION

• Condensation is when water vapor cools off and turns back into water.
• Water droplets form together and make a cloud!
• That is how clouds form.

PRECIPITATION

• Precipitation is when clouds get too heavy and burst open.
• Some clouds mix together and form a big cloud.
• When clouds do that a lot the cloud gets too heavy and will burst open.
• That will make precipitation
• Precipitation can be rain, hail, snow, sleet and more.

ACUMUALATION

• Accumulation is when precipitation goes into bodies of water.
• It can go into rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans and streams.
• After this the water cycle stars all over again.
