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
