Introduction to the Water Cycle All humans and animals need water to survive. The earth recycles water using the water cycle. The water cycle is powered by the sun. Quit

All humans and animals need water to survive.

The earth recycles water using the water cycle.

The water cycle is powered by the sun.

Precipitation As the water vapor cools, the droplets get larger, until eventually they fall from the sky. When the water falls from the sky it is called precipitation. There are different forms of precipitation. They are rain, snow, hail and sleet. Quit

Rain Rain is the liquid form of precipitation. Fun Fact: Rain drops are often shown as teardrop shape but in reality they are much more spherical. Quit

Fun Fact: Rain drops are often shown as teardrop shape but in reality they are much more spherical.

Snow Snow is a form of precipitation that falls in the form of ice particles. Snow particles form when cloud droplets cool. The snow particles are flat and thin. Fun Fact: All snow flakes are different. Quit

Snow is a form of precipitation that falls in the form of ice particles.

Snow particles form when cloud droplets cool.

The snow particles are flat and thin.

Fun Fact: All snow flakes are different.

Sleet and Hail Sleet is a form of precipitation that is a mixture of snow and rain. Hail consists of lumps of ice. Hail forms when the cloud droplets freeze on contact with the cold air. Quit

Sleet is a form of precipitation that is a mixture of snow and rain.

Hail consists of lumps of ice.

Hail forms when the cloud droplets freeze on contact with the cold air.

Evaporation The sun warms standing water such as puddles, ponds, lakes and oceans. As the water is warmed, the water changes from a liquid to a water vapor. This process is called evaporation Quit

As the water is warmed, the water changes from a liquid to a water vapor.

This process is called evaporation

Condensation As the water vapor rises, it hits cooler air, collects and forms clouds. This process is called condensation. Fun Fact: Condensation also fogs up your eyeglasses and a cold glass on a warm day. Quit

This process is called condensation.

Fun Fact: Condensation also fogs up your eyeglasses and a cold glass on a warm day.

Transpiration Transpiration is evaporation off plants. Water is evaporated from little holes in the plants leaves. This is part of the water cycle and also cools the plants. Quit
