The Water Cycle

Evaporation

• Evaporation is when the sun heats up water and
  turns it into a gas, vapor, or steam and goes
  into the air.

6
Condensation

• Condensation is when the water vapor in the air
  gets cold and turns back into liquid, which makes
  clouds.

7
Precipitation

• Precipitation happens when the clouds have so
  much liquid in them that they cant hold it any
  more.
• Precipitation comes in many forms like rain,
  hail, sleet, or snow.

8
Collection

• When water falls back to the earth it collects in
  various places like, lakes, rivers, ponds, and
  oceans.
