The document summarizes the water cycle in 5 steps:
1) Water is evaporated from sources like oceans by the sun's heat and rises into the air as vapor.
2) In the cool atmosphere, the vapor condenses to form clouds.
3) The clouds become heavy and water falls back to earth as precipitation like rain or snow.
4) Precipitation seeps into the ground or flows over land into rivers and streams and eventually oceans, completing the cycle.
5) The sun then evaporates water from the oceans again to repeat the cycle, which has continued for over a million years and is essential for all life on earth.
2. Water has many different forms. Have you ever wondered why there’s always clouds circling the earths surface? Or why water is always coming and going as rain, snow, sleet or hail? Water is the most valuable resource on the earth. And without it, the earth would be completely lifeless. All living things need water. This is my explanation of the WATER CYCLE…

4. Precipitation 3. With this part of the water cycle continuing frequently, the clouds become heavy with water and turn grey. After a while, the water in the clouds fall to the earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail. (depending on the temperature in the sky.) This part of the water cycle is known as precipitation.
