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

Up we go!

QBack Next Main Circle Help Quiz Time

Condensation

• Water vapor in the air gets cold• It changes back into liquid

This is how clouds are formed!

QBack Next Main Circle Help Quiz Time

Precipitation • Precipitation occurs

when too much water is collected that the air cannot hold it anymore.

• The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth

• There are different forms – rain, hail, sleet or snow.

precipitation– Could fall into oceans, lakes,

rivers or land

• If it soaks into the earth it becomes “ground water” – Plants and animals use this

“ground water” to drink

• It may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts ALL OVER AGAIN!
