Water Cycle

Evaporation

• water changes from liquid to gas

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds

• water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface

• water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground

run off

• water changes from liquid to gas

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds

• water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface

• water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground

Transpiration

• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds

• water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface

• water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground

collection

• water changes from liquid to gas

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds

• when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams

• water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
