The Water Cycle

When water vapor is cooled and forms drops of liquid water, we call this process:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Runoff

When water turns into gas, we call this process:

• condensation 

• evaporation

• precipitation

What is precipitation?

• Sweat from our bodies on hot days

• Warm rain but not cold snow or sleet

• Gas that we use in furnaces or ovens

• Any form of water that falls from the sky
