Learning Objective

I can describe the different stages of the water cycle.

  • 1

    Evaporation is when the sun heats up water and turns it into a gas or water vapor.

  • 2

    Condensation is the process of a gas turning into a liquid, and precipitation is water falling back to earth as rain, snow, or hail.

  • 3

    Water stored underground is called groundwater, which is formed when rain infiltrates the soil.
