-
* Water forms a gas called water vapor. The water vapor then rises to form clouds.
-
* Evaporation occurs when the sun warms the water and some of it changes into a gas. . * After the water condenses, it falls back to earth in various forms of precipitation; snow if it’s cold, rain if it’s warm.
-
*Some of this precipitation is absorbed into the ground and the rest flows into streams, lakes and oceans.

1. EVAPORATION: When the sun warms the water. some of it is changed into a gas.
-
2. CONDENSATION: The gas produced when evaporation takes place is called water vapor. It rises and forms clouds.
-
3. PRECIPITATION: When the water condenses it falls back to earth in various forms of precipitation. If it is cold, it snows. If it is warm, it will rain.

4. RECYCLED: Some precipitation is absorbed into the ground. The rest falls into streams, lakes,and oceans.
