The Wonderful Water Cycle

Mrs. McLean’s 4th Grade Class Winter of 2012

By , Christa Mae Diana

EvaporationThe first step in the Water Cycle is Evaporation.

Evaporation is at first a puddle that shrinks as water then evaporates in the air. Most of the water comes from the sky when its raining , lakes, oceans, and

rivers. People don’t notice that the cycle is happening because the droplets are so tiny .When the air is

warmer the quicker water enters the air as , water vapor.

Condensation

When really warm , moist air touches a cold pane of glass water vapor condenses or , spreads apart .

Creating tiny droplets that form on the window . Water vapor can also condense in high air . As it

condenses big clouds will form .

Precipitation

In really cold below temperatures below freezing , the water forms , then falls as snow because its so cold out the water freezes . Most of the precipitation falls over the sparkling oceans .

Run -OffDrop ! As the water drops to the ground you’ll notice most of the droplets soak in . The raindrops that don’t soak in run downhill into lakes , puddles, rivers , or oceans .After run-off the cycle starts all over again.

I hope u enjoyed my power point !

Thank u !!!
