Water Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| water cycle | is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again. |
| evaporation | when the heat from the sun warms up the water and turns it into water vapor. |
| transpiration | when water evaporates from plants. |
| condensation | water vapor(droplets)collect in the atmosphere to form clouds. |
| accumulation | the final stage of the water cycle before it starts all over again. There is a surface runoff from hills and mountains, and the water then accumulates back into lakes, rivers, and oceans. |
| precipitation | when the clouds can't hold all the moisture that has made them, they release the water in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow. |
