Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
Look up in the sky when it is raining, snowing, sleeting, or hailing. The rain or hail or whatever it is flows into the sun. That’s called precipitation(pre-sip-i-tate-shun). Then the water gets heated by the sun to get warmer and the water vapor gets wet. That is called evaporation(e-vap-a-rate-shun). Hear that word vapor in there? After that happens,the water goes underground the next time it rains. And that same water and same cycle goes over and over again. You ay think that’s gross, but don’t worry. The water gets cleaned so we can have nice clean fresh water and not dirty water.
Lakes and Ponds
Lakes and ponds are like a island of water because they are both always surrounded by land all the time. Algae is at the bottom of those lakes and ponds. Algae is small plants that are stuck to the bottom of the lakes and ponds. But most of the algae is small so that you can’t see it.
The Order of the Water Cycle
This is the order that all water goes in. First is precipitation. Next is accumalation(a-cyume-i-late-shun)Then the water evaporates. Lastly, the water goes through condensation. The same water always goes through the same cycle. And that is the water cycle.
