What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on Earth, where water moves between the oceans, atmosphere, and land.

What are the main parts of the water cycle?

Back

1. Evaporation: water changes into vapor 2. Condensation: water vapor changes into droplets 3. Precipitation: water falls back to Earth 4. Runoff: water flows over the surface or underground.

What happens during evaporation?

Back

The sun heats the water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, causing the water to change into invisible vapor that rises into the air. Plants also release water into the air (transpiration).

Front

What is the process of condensation?

Back

Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes into small droplets of water, which form clouds.

Front

What are the forms of precipitation?

Back

Precipitation can fall as rain, snow, or hail.

Front

Why is the water cycle important?

Back

It provides fresh water for life on Earth, helps maintain the planet's temperature, allows for plant growth, and shapes the landscape.

Front

How can we protect the water cycle?

Back

Save water at home, do not throw trash into the water, plant trees and plants, and do not pollute the air.

Front

What are the main parts of the water cycle?

Back

The main parts of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Front

What are the consequences of precipitation for plants and animals?

Back

Precipitation is important for plants and animals because it provides the water necessary for their survival.

Front

What creates runoff water from precipitation?

Back

Runoff water from precipitation creates streams and rivers, while some of the water is absorbed into the soil and groundwater moves slowly through rocks.
