The document describes the water cycle through defining key terms: condensation turns gases into liquids, evaporation turns liquids into gases, precipitation includes rain, snow and hail from clouds, and surface runoff and transpiration move water over land and through plants, with accumulation building storms over seas.

1. The Water Cycle By Giantsfan27

2. Condensation the act or process of reducing a gas or vapor to a liquid or solid form.

3. Evaporation Molecules start moving faster and spread apart and turns into a gas

4. Precipitation Falling products of condensation in the atmosphere, as rain, snow, or hail.

5. Snow Frozen raindrops that fall from the clouds

6. Rain Water that comes from the clouds

7. Hail Huge frozen rain that falls from the sky

8. Surface Runoff Water from rain, snowmelt or other sources, that flows over the land surface

9. Transpiration The passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere

10. Accumulation The build up of storms over sea
