The magical journey of water gives you the ethical overview of how the sea water converts into the rain.

1. THE MAGICAL JOURNEY OF WATER:
THE WATER CYCLE
Understanding how water moves around Earth

2. WHAT IS THE WATER CYCLE?
The water cycle describes how water moves
through the Earth’s atmosphere, land, and oceans.
• It is a continuous and natural process.
• Also called the hydrological cycle.

3. MAIN STAGES OF THE
WATER CYCLE
The 4 Key Stages
1.EVAPORATION 2. CONDENSATION

4. 3. PRECIPITATION
4. COLLECTION

5. 🌍 Occurs all around us — oceans, rivers, lakes, and clouds!

6. EVAPORATION
• Water changes from liquid to vapor
(gas) due to heat from the sun.
• The sun drives the entire water cycle.
Example: Wet clothes drying in the sun.

7. CONDENSATION
• Water vapor cools and changes back
into liquid, forming clouds.
• Clouds are tiny drops of water floating
in the sky!
Example: Foggy mirror after a hot shower.

8. PRECIPITATION
• Water falls from clouds to Earth as rain,
snow, hail, or sleet.
• This is how water returns to Earth.
Rain is the most common type of precipitation.

9. COLLECTION
• Water collects in oceans, lakes, rivers,
and underground.
• This water will eventually evaporate
again — and the cycle continues!
ocean, lake, river, or anywhere underground.

IMPORTANT?
Helps regulate Earth’s temperature
Replenishes fresh water
Supports plant & animal life
🌍 NO WATER CYCLE = NO LIFE ON EARTH!
