Water cycle

Cards (6)

  • Evaporation occurs when the sun shines on water and heats it, turning it into a gas called water vapour, which rises into the air.
  • Transpiration occurs when the sun warms people, plants, and animals, which then releases water vapour into the air.
  • condensation occurs when the water vapour in the air cools and turns back into a liquid, forming tiny water droplets in the sky.
  • Precipitation is when water flows over the ground and into creeks, rivers, and oceans.
  • infiltration is when water falls on the ground and soaks into the soil
  • percolation is when water seeps deeper into tiny spaces in the soil and rock.
