The water cycle is the process of water circulating between the earth’s atmosphere, land, and waterways!
There are many different ways to explain the Water Cycle but a simple approach is looking at 4 main phases:
EVAPORATION – The process of liquid changing to gas. This occurs in our oceans, lakes, pond, rivers, or even your drinking glass!
CONDENSATION – The process of water vapor/gas changing to a liquid. This creates our clouds!
PRECIPITATION – The process of water falling from the sky. This everything from rain, snow, sleet or hail!
TRANSPIRATION – The process of plants absorbing water through roots and giving off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
