The document summarizes the water cycle in 6 steps: evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, condensation, collection, and the cycle starting over. Evaporation turns water into vapor which rises into the air. Plants lose water through transpiration, adding to evaporation. Precipitation occurs when air is full of condensed water vapor and falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Condensation forms clouds as warm vapor cools. Collection returns water to oceans, lakes, rivers or land to be stored, starting the cycle again.
