The Water Cycle
Evaporation
Other Processes
Precipitation
Condensation
.
.
the Evaporation process is because of the sun.
It Water changing to Water vapor
The temperature
Density of the body of water
The wind
Also Influence the Evaporation process
The process of a gas changing to a liquid.
Water vapor condenses in the atmosphere and becomes liquid
Condensation can happen
at ground level
high in the atmosphere
Clouds form when water vapor condenses
Clouds at ground level are called fog or mist
Condensation is also influenced by the sun
Precipitation is not a process
Precipitation is when any liquid or solid water that falls to Earth
Rain
Hail
Snow
All are Precipitation
fog is not Precipitation
Evaporation, condensation and precipitation are not the only parts of the water cycle
Runoff is a variety of ways liquid water moves across land.
Transpiration is the process of water vapor being released from plants and soil
Snowmelt is a type of runoff
Evapotranspiration is the combined components of evaporation and transpiration
