Water cycle

• The continual movement of water above and on the surface of earth

• The process of water freezing into ice

• The evaporation of water from plants

• The collection of water in rivers and lakes

Condensation

• Liquid to gas

• Solid to liquid

• Gas to liquid

• Gas to solid

What is third stage of water cycle?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

Transpiration

• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant

• Absorption of nutrients by plant roots

• Photosynthesis process in plants

• Translocation of sugars in plants

Precipitation

• rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground from clouds.

• a type of cloud formation that indicates rain is coming.

• the process of water evaporating from the earth's surface.

• a weather phenomenon characterized by high temperatures.

Water vapor

• water in the form of a gas

• liquid water at high temperatures

• ice crystals in the atmosphere

• water mixed with air particles
