The cycle of water (how water rises and falls)
The water cycle. The water cycle concludes of 3 parts. Evaporation, Condensation and Precipitation. Here is some more facts about the 3 parts of the water cycle.
Evaporation:
The first part of the cycle is evaporation. Evaporation happens when the sun’s heat is over water in oceans, lakes, rivers and even puddles! Evaporation is where the sun produces heat and it turns water into a gas. The evaporated water is that light that it floats up too the are and it starts the second part of the cycle.
Condensation:
Condensation is where the evaporated water converts into a cloud by combining with gases and dust. As all of them substances combine, that are forming clouds. When the clouds are formed, as more and more of the substances gather the clouds get bigger and the water drops inside get larger and larger until they get to heavy that the next stage starts.
Precipitation:
Precipitation is where it all falls down. No literally, Precipitation is the stage where the cloud breaks open and it starts to rain. But is isn’t always rain, it can also be hail and snow. The rain, hail or snow will end up in the ocean, lake and river but some can proceed and become groundwater, but from here on this is the end of the cycle and this is where it starts all over again.
This is the water cycle and how the water cycle works. The water cycle is really cool, the way it Evaporates into the air and then Condensates into a cloud and then precipitates as it all falls out of the sky and starts again.
