Precipitation Evaporation Condensation Runoff

Condensed water vapor that falls to the Earth’s surface such as rain, hail, snow, sleet, and fog drips

During precipitation the clouds get very heavy and saturated with water

Most precipitation falls into the ocean, where it gets warm and evaporates into the air again

The water that moves through the cycle is the same water that was here when the earth was formed

It occurs when the sun heat water in rivers, lakes and the ocean and turns it into or steam, which then rises into the air

Heat is necessary for evaporation to occur Water changes form a liquid to a gas or vapor 90% of the moisture in the atmosphere comes from

oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers Water absorbs into the air Seeing your breath in cool air is evaporation

Occurs when saturated air is cooled below the dew point

It is the transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air producing clouds and fog

When air cools during the night it hold less water vapor, so therefore it squeezes the vapor together

Water droplets can collect on pollen, dust, or grass.

Ways that water moves across the land The water flows into the ground and

causes evaporation in the air and it become stored in the lakes or reservoirs

The water cycle is water that takes it circulates from the land to the sky ad back again

It is important to us because animals release water into the atmosphere

It returns to the environment after death and decay of organism (plant and animals)

A large part of water is given back to nature by plants
