The water cycle

The water cycle is the process in which water gets cleaned by nature and turns into gas then liquid or even ice. The first step is evaporation. Evaporation is the process in which liquid water becomes water vapor. Then is condensation. Condensation is the process by which water vapor turns into a liquid from. After that there is precipitation. Precipitation is when water in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or ice.

Here is some vocabulary words .

Transpiration - the process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere.

Precipitation - the process in which water in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls from clouds in the sky.

Subsurface runoff - rain snowmelt or other water that flows in underground streams.

Surface runoff - rain snowmelt or other water that flows in surface streams, rivers, or canals.

Evaporation - the process in which liquid water becomes water vapor.

Condensation - the process in which water vapor in the air turns into liquid water. Water drops that form outside of a glass of icy water is an example of condensation. Condensing water forms clouds.
