THE WATER CYCLE
The water cycle is a cycle that repeats itself over and over again. After it rains, you may see lots of water puddles on the ground. Then the sun comes out and the puddles disappear. Did you know the sun will then change the water on the ground into a gas called “water vapor”? This part of the water cycle is called evaporation (liquid changed to a gas). As the water vapor rises into the air, it mixes with pieces of dust. The air gets cooler and the vapor changes back into liquid (water). This is called condensation. The condensation collects and forms clouds. When there is too much water for the clouds to hold, precipitation falls back to earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This cycle continues again and again. Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation are the processes involved in the water cycle.
What stage in the water cycle is complete when the water falls back to the ground?
