The document discusses the water cycle, where water is constantly circulating around Earth in different forms. It explains that water evaporates from the surface into the air, condenses to form clouds, and falls back to Earth as precipitation like rain or snow. Most water is stored in oceans, but some is stored in groundwater, lakes, streams, and other bodies of water before starting to evaporate again.























Introduction to the concept of the water cycle and its importance for Earth. It highlights that Earth is covered with water, primarily in oceans, and that the water cycle ensures a supply of fresh water.
Details on evaporation where water changes from liquid to gas due to the sun. Introduces condensation, the process of water vapor cooling into droplets to form clouds.
Explains precipitation, the process where clouds release water as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Highlights how water returns to Earth.
Describes how precipitation seeps into the ground, creates runoff that flows into streams, lakes, and oceans. Key aspect of water storage in the environment.
Summarizes the main stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and storage. Concludes with an activity prompt to engage with the content.
