    Water never leaves the Earth. It is constantly
    being cycled through the atmosphere, ocean,
    and land. This process, known as the water
    cycle , is driven by energy from the sun. The
    water cycle is crucial to the existence of life on
    our planet.
    The Water Cycle

    • The water cycle is


    composed of many
    parts.
    During part of the water cycle, the sun heats
    up liquid water and changes it to a gas by the
    process of evaporation. Water that
    evaporates from Earth’s oceans, lakes, rivers,
    and moist soil rises up into the atmosphere.
    The process of evaporation from plants is
    called transpiration. (In other words, it’s like
    plants are sweating or perhaps exhaling.)
    When humans exhale, we release water
    vapor as well.
    Condensation
    As water (in the form of gas) rises higher in the
    atmosphere, it starts to cool and become a liquid
    again. This process is called condensation.
    When a large amount of water vapor condenses, it
    results in the formation of clouds.
    Precipitation
    When the water in the clouds gets too
    heavy, the water falls back to the earth.
    This is called precipitation.
    Runoff
    When rain falls on the land, some of the water is
    absorbed into the ground forming pockets of water
    called groundwater. Most groundwater eventually
    returns to the ocean. Other precipitation runs
    directly into streams or rivers. Water that collects
    in rivers, streams, and oceans is called runoff.
