The document discusses the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves processes such as evaporation from bodies of water and transpiration from plants, which leads to condensation and precipitation as rain, snow, or sleet. The water then either collects as surface water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, or seeps underground as groundwater, completing the cycle.

2.  The earth has limited amount of water so we
need to reuse it, the water keeps going
around and around in “The Water Cycle”
 What do we know about the water cycle?
 Precipitation
 Transpiration
 Evaporation
 Condensation
 Run Off

4.  Water droplets
in clouds
eventually
become too
heavy for the
air to support
and fall to the
ground as rain,
snow or sleet

5.  Water evaporates
from oceans, lakes,
rivers, the upper
layers of the soil,
and from the leaves
of the plants and
bodies of animals.

6.  Water vapor
is released
into the air by
the leaves of
plants. Plants
transpire
more on hot,
sunny days.

7.  Water vapor in the
air gets cold and
changes back into
liquid, forming
clouds. This is
called
condensation.

8.  When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it
may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it
may end up on land.
 Ground water- When it ends up on land, it will
either soak into the earth and plants and animals
use to drink
 Surface water-Run over the soil and collect in the
oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts

9.  As water seeps downward it carries dissolved
chemicals deeper into the soil
 The chemicals may be required for growth
and development of the plant
