The Water Cycle
What is the water cycle?
• The water cycle is the constant recycling of water through the atmosphere and the Earth
How does water cycle work?
• Evaporation
• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Collection
The Water Cycle, step-by-step• The sun provides energy that
allows water to evaporate.• Water vapor rises, or evaporates,
into atmosphere.• Water vapor condenses into
clouds.• The water droplets in clouds
become too large and fall back to Earth as precipitation
• Plants collect water and then release it back into atmosphere
• Soil collect water, which evaporates back into atmosphere

• The water you drink everyday is the same water that existed when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth!
• The water in plants does not evaporate!– Plants go through a process
called transpiration (basically when plants “sweat”)
