Water Cycle

• What are the main stages of the water cycle?

• Rain, snow, sleet, hail

• Precipitation and runoff

• Evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff

• Condensation and Evaporation

• What happens during evaporation?

• Water turns to ice

• The sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, and oceans and it goes into the air

• The sun heats up water and the water falls to the ground

• Water vapor becomes liquid

• What happens during condensation?

• • Water vapor in the air gets cold and turns into water drops

• Water heats up and turns into steam

• Liquid turns into a gas

• Water falls down to Earth's surface
