Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

The Sun’s heat warms water on the ocean's surface

Liquid water becomes water vapor as it evaporates

Water vapor cools & changes back into droplets

Liquid droplets collect around dust to form cloud

Clouds are formed by solid ice particles

Rain is caused by the Earth's rotation

Multiple Choice

• Lake, river, water vapor

• Ocean, groundwater, cloud

• Snow, ice, glacier

• Lake, water vapor, runoff

Multiple Choice

• Condensation

• Freezing

• Gas

• Evaporation
