water cycle

Evaporation:The graphic to the left shows H2O flying into the air. The H2O (or water as we shall call it) actually turns into a gas first. Water in gas form is called vapor. Vapor soars into the air, higher and higher until it is cooled.

Condensation:To the left you can see a lovely graphic of a cloud.
When water vapor is cooled it condenses and becomes a liquid again but in microscopic droplets that are light enough to float. Water then floats on air and becomes fog or clouds.

Precipitation:
A graphic of rain to the left is linked to precipitation.
When a cloud is submitted to very cold air it will rain. All of the little water droplets that were riding on the air fall to the ground as rain. If submitted to extremely cold air, water can freeze and fall to Earth as snow or hail. Also it is incorrect that rain is teardrop shape but more like spheres for small rain drops, the larger rain drops are flatten at the bottom and looks like a hamburger and the large one are parachute shape


Infiltration:
To the left is a graphic of mud. When water hits the soil as rain it can create mud. Once water hits the ground it seeps into the earth. This is called infiltration. Soon it will find its way to the sea, which is where most water is evaporated. Then the cycle starts again.
