The water we drink today is recycled through the water cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation over millions of years, ensuring water is constantly replenished even as humans use it daily. Water evaporates from bodies of water and condenses in clouds before precipitating back to earth as rain, snow, or sleet and gathering again in oceans, rivers, lakes, and forests to repeat the cycle.
2. The water we drink today is
older than the earth and even
older than the sun.
But how does it still exist and
does not run out even when
we use it daily?
Here is the explanation.
3. Over millions of years, water
on earth is recycled and
purified between the inner
earth, oceans and rivers, and
the atmosphere. This cycling
process is called the “water
cycle”.
7. On a daily basis, you can watch
the result of this condensation
process by seeing the water
droplets on the surface of the
leaves in the morning.It is the
effect of the condensation with cold
temperature at night.
8. Precipitation is basically the process of
water droplets in the clouds falling back to
the earth’s surface. This could happen
in many forms.
- Rain
- Sleet
- Snow
- Hail
9. The water falling from the sky from the
precipitation process gathers in different
water bodies such as oceans, rivers, lakes,
and so on. Some of them are stored in
the forest by the trees.
The water then evaporated again and the
cycle continues.
