The Water Cycle Definition

• The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic
  cycle is the journey water takes as it circulates
  from the land to the sky and back again.

3
Transportation definition and how it works

• Warmth from the sun causes water from lakes,
  streams, ice, and soils to turn into water vapor
  in the air. Almost all of the precipitated water
  (80 percent) goes right back into the air because
  of evaporation. The rest runs off land or soils
  into the ground to become ground water.

4
Transportation definition and how It works

• Transportation happens when plants give off
  water vapor through tiny pores in their leaves
  this is the plants way of getting rid of waste,
  just like people and animals sweat when theyre
  hot! This water vapor evaporates into the air and
  is stored in the atmosphere until it becomes
  clouds or precipitation.

5
Condensation definition and how it works

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back
  into liquid, until it forming clouds. This is
  called condensation.

6
Precipitation definition and how it works

• Precipitation occurs when so much water has
  condensed that the air cannot hold it any more.
  The clouds get heavy and water falls back into
  the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or
  snow.

7
Collection definition and how it works

• When water falls back to earth as precipitation
  it may fall back in the ocean lakes or rivers or
  it may end up on land. When it ends up on land it
  will either soak into the earth and become part
  of the ground water that plants and animals use
  to drink or it may run over soil and collect in
  the oceans, lakes, or rivers were the cycle
  starts.
