The Water Cycle 1/19/12 By Ryan Goodman
Evaporation • Evaporation is when the sun heats oceans lakes, rivers, or puddles. Then they rise as a gas and form clouds. • when they rise they are either tiny water droplets to form cumulus clouds or as ice crystals to form cirrus clouds.
condensation • When water vapor cools into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. • Then the water droplets and ice crystals go into clouds and the clouds get heavier and rain, sleet, snow, and hail.
precipitation • The clouds cant that hold up the heavy water droplets and rain, snow, sleet, and hail falls • What ever falls from from the clouds depend on the temperature
Runoff Water that does not soak into the ground. Instead it runs downhill and finds the nearest body of water. Last, it starts again!
