  4. What is the Water Cycle? Transpiration Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Accumulation

  5. This is the water cycle! condensation transpiration precipitation evaporation accumulation

  6. “Transpiration” the evaporation of water from plants

  7. “Transpiration”Do plants really sweat? Plants like me release water to supply photosynthesis, bring minerals up from the roots, and cool ourselves off.

  8. “Evaporation” The conversion of water from a liquid to a gas Solar energy drives evaporation of water from the ocean. The evaporated water changes from a liquid form into water vapor a gaseous form.

  9. “Condensation” The transformation of water vapor back into liquid water by cooling Evaporated water is warmed and rises into the air where it eventually cools and condenses to form clouds.

  10. “Precipitation” Rain, hail, or snow falling from the clouds due to the condensation of water With enough condensed water, you get rain! When clouds become very heavy with condensed water, the water is released in the form of rain, hail, or snow.

  11. “Accumulation” The collection of precipitation into rivers, lakes, and oceans. This completes the water cycle!

  12. This is the water cycle! condensation transpiration precipitation evaporation accumulation

  13. The End
