Water Cycle

How does transpiration work with Earth's water cycle?

• Water evaporates from plants and rises into the atmosphere

• Water vapor in the air is changed into clouds

• Drops of water, dust and other particles in clouds become heavy and fall

• Heat causes water to change from a liquid to a gas
