WATER CYCLE

CONDENSATION

Through this process the water vapour produced by evaporation and transpiration rises, cools down, and then turns into clouds.

WATER CYCLE

EVAPORATION

The water evaporates, turning into water vapour, which then becomes part of the atmosphere.

TRANSPIRATION

This occurs when plants lose water due to evaporation. The water from this process also becomes part of the atmosphere

PRECIPITATION

After cloud has formed, water returns to the Earth’s surface in liquid rainor solid snow and hail.

INFILTRATION

This occurs when water penetrates the surface of the Earth and becomes underground runoff.

SURFACE RUNOFF

When liquid water is on the surface of the Earth it flows across the land. This water forms rivers.
