  1. The Water Cycle ESS5.4

  2. Earth’s Water • Earth has a limited amount of water

  3. Water is constantly moving in what we call the water cycle

  4. Evaporation • Changing from a liquid to a gas

  5. When the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam • The vapor or steam rises into the air

  6. Transpiration • the process by which plants lose water out of their leaves

  7. Condensation • Changing from a gas to a liquid

  8. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds

  9. Precipitation • when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore • clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow

  10. Collection • water falls back to earth as precipitation it falls into lakes, rivers, oceans, or land and is collected • The water cycle starts again
