Water cycle

• Water cycle

  1. Evaporation from oceans

  2. Water vapor travels into air

  3. Water vapor condenses to form clouds

  4. Precipitation (rain, snow, hail, sleet)

  5. Water hits ground

  6. Some evaporates back into atmosphere

  7. Some forms aquifers

  8. Some forms rivers/streams

  9. Rivers/streams drain back into sea
• Precipitation

  Contains fresh water (does not contain salt)
• Water cycle

  • Involves living organisms (plants take up water, animals drink water, animals release water)
• Transpiration

  Process where plants release water vapor through stomata
