WATER CYCLE

WATER CYCLE

1. NATURAL WATER CYCLE

   • EVAPORACION
     • Heat from the sun provides the energy for water to change from a liquid, like we drink, into a vapour
   • CONDENSATION
     • When water vapour cools, it condenses back into tiny droplets of liquid water.
       • these droplets are small enough to float in the air and eventually coollegt together to make a cloud
   • PRECIPITATION
     • Will join together to from bigger water droaps in the clouds
       • These drops become too heavy to stay in the air and will fall to earth as rain.
   • RUNOF
     • some presipitation will soak into the ground or be taken up by plants but the rest will runoff into streams, rivers, lakes and make itsway to the ocean
