4. The Earth has a limited
amount of water. The
water keeps going
around and around and
around in what we call
the water cycle which
consists of four stages.
Slide Menu Objectives
6. Precipitation takes place
when water
condensation becomes
sufficient that water
droplets are heavy
enough to fall back to
the surface of the Earth
Slide Menu Objectives
8. When the precipitation
ends up on land it will
either soak into the Earth
and become a part of
ground water or run in the
soil and collect in oceans,
lakes, or rivers
Slide Menu Objectives
9. Evaporation is when the sun
heats up water in rivers, lakes,
or oceans and turns it into
vapor or steam. The water
vapor or steam leaves the river,
lake, or ocean and goes into the
air.
Slide Menu Objectives
10. Evaporation is the
primary pathway that
water moves from the
liquid state back into
the water cycle as
atmospheric water
vapor.
Slide Menu Objectives
11. Condensation is
when the water
vapor in the air gets
cold and changes
back into liquid
forming clouds.
Slide Menu Objectives
12. Condensation is
important to the
water cycle because it
is responsible for the
formation of clouds.
