The water cycle begins when water from bodies of water evaporates into water vapor due to heat from the sun. The water vapor condenses into water droplets in the air that form clouds. The water droplets in clouds join together and become too heavy, causing rain or snow to fall back to the ground. When rain falls on land, some water soaks into the soil and is used by plants, some becomes groundwater, excess water runs off into streams and rivers, and some evaporates back into the air to repeat the cycle.

2. 1- Water from the seas, ocean, river
and lakes evaporates from the sun’s
heat.

3. 2- The water vapour condenses into
water drops and with the dust particles,

4. 3- Water droplets join together to form
big drops of water, it becomes too
heavy to stay in the air so it rains or
snows

it flows into streams that goes into river.
