Water cycle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The water cycle is the cycle water goes through on Earth. It makes the rain, clouds, and most of our weather.

• First, water on the earth and in the sea is evaporated by the heat from the Sun.
• Excess water from plants is also absorbed into the atmosphere, this process is called transpiration.
• Then, water collects as water vapor in the sky. This makes clouds.
• Next, the water in the clouds gets cold. This makes it become liquid again.
• Then, the water falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet, or hail which is called precipitation.
• The water then collects into lakes, oceans, or aquifers. From there, it evaporates again and continues the cycle.
