The Water Cycle: Understanding Earth's Water Journey
Water is constantly moving through the environment in a process called the water cycle. This cycle involves several steps: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. It is a continuous process that helps recycle water on Earth. Let's learn more about each step and how water travels from one place to another!
The process where water turns into vapor and rises into the air is called
When water vapor cools and forms clouds, it is called
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds is called
Water that flows over the ground and collects in rivers, lakes, and oceans is known as
The sun provides the energy needed for
