Water never leaves the Earth. It is used Water never leaves the Earth. It is used over and over again. This process, known over and over again. This process, known as the as the water cyclewater cycle, is driven by energy , is driven by energy from the sun. The water cycle is crucial to from the sun. The water cycle is crucial to the existence of life on our planet. the existence of life on our planet.

During part of the water cycle, the sun heats up water and changes it to a gas by the process of evaporation. Water that evaporates from Earth’s oceans, lakes and rivers rises up into the atmosphere.

The process of evaporation from plants The process of evaporation from plants is called is called transpirationtranspiration. (In other words, . (In other words, it’s like plants sweating.)it’s like plants sweating.)

As water (in the form of gas) rises higher in the atmosphere, it starts to cool and become a liquid again. This process is called condensation. When a lot of cool water condenses, it forms clouds.

When the water in the clouds gets too heavy, the water falls back to the earth. This is called precipitation.
