Water Cycle
The movement of water both on and above Earth's surface.

Precipitation
When water falls to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air.
Evaporation
the opposite of evaporation; it occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into liquid form.
Condensation
condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and mist. Only 10% of water evaporated falls as precipitation.
Precipitation
