The Water Cycle
Is the water we have now the same as millions of years ago? The Earth is a huge water cycling machine that gets the water clean and back on land, so it is true. It travels through sea, lakes, rivers and puddles. Did you know that the Earth is made of two – thirds of water! Why does this happen?
Stage 1- Evaporation
On a warm, sunny day, the water in the ocean and lakes evaporates into the atmosphere, which is caused by the sun heating the water. It turns into an invisable gas called water vapour. This process is called evaporation.
Stage 2- Condensation
The water vapour gets cold and condenses to make water droplets, if it gets so cold it will turn into ice crystals. The cold air makes the vapour form a cloud as a result the clouds turn grey. This process is called condensation.
Stage 3- Precipitation
When the clouds get too heavy it starts to rain because the water droplets are too heavy, so the cloud needs to let them go. If it freezes in the air it will turn into hail or it could freeze in the cloud and turn into snow. This process is called precipitation.
This process is happening all the time, so we could be drinking water dinosaurs bathed in!
Amazing!! Eloise I do think that you have spent time doing that I give you a thumbs up I can never do that.and you have nicely put them in the right Column and in order.
You are right Alaiah. I would give you a thumbs up as well Eloise
Good Info Elouise. I wish I knew more about the water cycle than you
