The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).

Answer 2

The heat of the sun provides energy to make the water cycle work.

The sun evaporates water from the oceans into water vapor.

This invisible vapor rises into the atmosphere, where the air is colder.

The colder air causes water vapor to condense into water droplets and clouds.

Volcanoes can produce steam, which forms clouds.

In the atmosphere, air currents move clouds all around the Earth.

Water drops form in clouds, which then fall to Earth as precipitation (rain and snow).

In cold climates, precipitation builds up as snow, ice, and glaciers.

Snow can melt, becoming runoff, which flows into rivers, the oceans, and into the ground.

Some ice evaporates directly into the air, skipping the melting phase (sublimation).

Rainfall on land flows downhill as runoff, providing water to lakes, rivers, and the oceans.

Some rain soaks into the ground, as infiltration, and, if deep enough, becomes groundwater.

Water from lakes and rivers can seep into the ground.

Water moves underground because of gravity and pressure.

Groundwater close to the land surface is taken up by plants.

Some groundwater seeps into rivers and lakes, and can flow to the surface as springs.

Plants take up groundwater and evapotranspire, or evaporate, it from their leaves.

Some groundwater goes very deep into the ground and stays there for a long time.

Groundwater flows into the oceans, keeping the water cycle going.
