💦Evaporation is the first step of the water cycle, where water turns into water vapor when heated.
☁️Condensation occurs when water vapor in the sky turns into tiny droplets, forming clouds.
🌧️Precipitation happens when clouds become too heavy and release rain, hail, or snow.
🌊Water collects in oceans, lakes, rivers, and even seeps through soil, becoming groundwater.
🌿Transpiration is when plants release water vapor, contributing to the water cycle and rainfall.
What is the water cycle?
—The water cycle is the continuous process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that redistributes water on Earth.
What causes evaporation?
—Evaporation is caused by the sun's heat, which turns water into water vapor.
How are clouds formed?
—Clouds are formed through condensation when water vapor in the sky turns into tiny droplets that come together.
What is precipitation?
—Precipitation is when water droplets in the clouds become too heavy and fall from the sky as rain, hail, or snow.
Where does the water go after precipitation?
—After precipitation, water collects in oceans, lakes, rivers, and can seep through the soil as groundwater.
00:28When the sun heats up the rivers and oceans, water becomes water vapor and rises in the air through evaporation.
00:59Water vapor in the sky turns into tiny droplets, forming clouds through condensation.
01:34Clouds release rain, hail, or snow through precipitation when they become too heavy.
01:51Water collects in oceans, lakes, rivers, and seeps through the soil as groundwater.
02:16Plants release water vapor through transpiration, contributing to the water cycle and rainfall.
