1. THE WATER
CYCLE

2. The Earth has a limited amount of water.

3. The water keeps
going around and
around and around in
what we call…

4. THE WATER CYCLE

5. This cycle is made up of a few main parts:
EVAPORATION
CONDENSATION
PRECIPITATION
COLLECTION

6. EVAPORATION:
The sun heats up the water in the rivers, lakes, and ocean and turns it into
vapor or steam, and goes into the air.

7. CONDENSATION
Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming
clouds.

8. PRECIPITATION
Occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold
it anymore.
The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth
in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow.

9. COLLECTION
When water falls back it fills oceans, lakes or rivers.
On land it will soak into the earth for plants and animals.
