THE WATER CYCLEThe Water Cycle- the journey water

takes as it circulates from the lands, to the sky, and back down again.

Evaporation- the hot sun causes water on Earth to change from a liquid form into a gas

Condensation- the process of water vapor in the clouds cooling down and becoming

B

Precipitation- Water falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow, hail, or sleet

Collection- Oceans and lakes collect that has fallen

C

D

Precipitation is any type of water that falls from the sky as weather

• True• False

Great Job!

What causes Evaporation?

• The weight of the clouds• The hot sun• Collection• Evaporation

Correct!!!!

Water that is accumulated in lakes and oceans is called what in the Water cycle?

• Groundwater• Condensation• Rain water• Collection

GOOD JOB!

CONCLUSION• At the end of this lesson you will

have learned about what the Water Cycle is and all of the components: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, and Collection.
