What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back, involving processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What happens during evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor (gas) due to heat.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds or dew.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

A warm front typically brings cloudy skies and rainy weather as warm air rises over cold air.

Front

What is the typical temperature change after a cold front passes?

Back

After a cold front passes, temperatures usually drop, leading to cooler weather.

Front
