What 
is the cycle 
?water
Water on earth 
You could call Earth``the blue planet`` 
that is because three-fourths of 
Earth`s surface is covered by water. 
. Most water is in the ocean
Earth`s water is found in different 
forms. It can move one place to another.

You might find the water 
particle crashing on a beach in an 
ocean wave. 
You might find it drifting in the 
sky as part of a cloud. 
You might find it floating down 
. as snow
Water cycle 
Water cycle is the movement of 
water from Earth`s surface into 
the air and back again. 
Water cycle gives Earth a constant 
supply of fresh water. 
Most of Earth`s water is salty ocean 
water . that you cannot drink
Water changes form, or state, 
as it moves through the water 
cycle. 
After water moves through the 
stages of the water cycle, the 
.cycle begins again
Evaporation 
The sun`s warmth causes water 
on Earth`s surface to evaporate. 
Evaporation is the change from 
liquid . water to water vapor,a gas
Condensation 
The water vapor rises into the air 
and cools. As it cools, the vapor 
changes into tiny water droplets. 
Condensation is the change from a 
gas into a liquid. 
The water droplets . collect and form clouds
precipitation 
Water particles in the clouds 
join together. 
When they become heavy, they 
fall to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, 
or hail. 
Precipitation: is the water that 
.falls to Earth
precipitation
Storage 
Some precipitation seeps 
into the ground. 
Runoff is precipitation that 
flows over the land and collects 
.in streams, lakes, and the ocean
Precipitation . seeps into the ground
