Water droplets that fall from the sky

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• dew

Water that goes into the ground

• run off

• ground water

• clouds

• evaporation

Water vapor is changed back into liquid water

• condensation

• evaporation

• preciipation

a substance that is very important to living things

• grass

• trees

• land

• water

water that flows downhill into streambeds

• ground water

• run off

• flooding

• ski slopes

the Earth’s waters are constantly changing from

one state of matter to another

• gas

• water cycle

when animals release water vapor to the

atmosphere

• transpiration

• respiration

• precipitation

• condensation

the energy source that causes the water cycle

• generators

• humans

• the sun

• global warming

When plants release water vapor into the air

• perspiration

• respiration

• transpiration

• condensation

What happens when condensation occurs?

• liquid water changes into water vapor

• water vapor changes back into liquid water

• the earth becomes very damp

• evaopration happens
