How old is your water?

The water in your glass may have fallen from the sky asrain just last week, but the water itself has been around

pretty much as long as the earth has!

When the first fish crawled out of the ocean onto theland, your glass of water was part of that ocean. Whenthe Brontosaurus walked through lakes feeding

on plants, your glass of water was part of thoselakes. When kings and princesses, knights and squirestook a drink from their wells, your glass of water waspart of those wells.

Evaporation

Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or

the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or

steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.

Condensation

Water vapor in the air gets cold andchanges back into liquid, formingclouds. This is called condensation.

Condensation

Experiment

You can see the same sort of thing at home... pour a

glass of cold water on a hot day and watch what

happens. Water forms on the outside of the

glass. That water didn't somehow leak through theglass! It actually came from the air. Water vapor in the

warm air, turns back into liquid when it touches the

cold glass.
