Evaporation

The process of liquid water changing into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.

Condensation

The change of water vapor in the air back into liquid water, forming clouds.

Precipitation

Any form of water falling back to Earth from the atmosphere, like rain, snow, or hail.

Study Notes

Water Cycle

  • The water cycle is a continuous movement of water around the Earth.
  • It is a continuous cycle with no beginning or end.
  • Evaporation: Sun heats water in bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) and turns it into water vapor (steam).
  • Condensation: Water vapor in the air cools and changes back to liquid forming clouds.
  • Precipitation: Water vapor condenses, clouds become heavy and release water back to Earth as rain, hail, sleet, or snow.
  • Collection: Precipitation gathers on Earth, filling oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and some seeps into the ground becoming groundwater.
  • The water cycle restarts with evaporation.
  • Importance of Water: Life on Earth depends on water, making its presence a key indicator for life on other planets.
  • Water exists on Earth as a liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor).
