Evaporation

The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor.

Condensation

The process by which water vapor (water in its gas form) turns into liquid, like the drops around this glass of water.

Multiple Choice

This shows an example of...

• precipitation

• evaporation

• condensation

Precipitation

The release of water from the sky, it can be liquid or solid, for example, rain, sleet, hail and snow. Rain begins when small droplets of water join together in the clouds until they become too heavy and fall down to earth.
