General statement about the topic.
| The Water Cycle is how water moves all around the earth and which happens every day and every time. There are 4 steps in the water cycle, which are: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and Collection. |

Evaporation is when water gets heated by the sun so much that the water puddles get smaller and smaller once it’s small enough it flies into the clouds along with the heat. The sun heats the ground, the rain’s leftover puddles and rivers, oceans and seas then evaporating the water. That turns into water vapour. Evaporation means water is turning into vapour by the heat. Sometimes after it’s been raining a lot the rain leaves puddles behind but when it turns into a hot day the puddles evaporate and turn into vapour some people think its just steam but its actually water vapour. Evaporation is followed by condensation.
Condensation is the process by which water vapour in the air is changed into liquid water. Also, condensation happens when the vapour is so light that the heat rises, the water vapour up into the clouds and the clouds make big water droplets that fall onto the ground or any types of water. Do you see the steam after the rain then it goes up into the clouds? Well that is actually water vapour which can make more rain! Up next is Precipitation Precipitation is a form of water, (such as rain, snow, or sleet}, that condenses from the atmosphere, becomes too heavy to remain suspended, and falls to the Earth’s surface. It happens when rain, snow, sleet, or hail any kind of weather condition where something’s falling from the sky. When the rain falls in the clouds the rain drops will get so heavy that they fall to the ground, mountains, valleys, rivers and oceans. The water drops down from the clouds and goes onto the rivers, ground, lakes, oceans. This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water. It rains from the sky and drops into the ground. Then it repeats all over again.

u so bad at doing this
