The Water Cycle

1. water falls from the clouds in the sky. Rain, snow, and sleet are all examples.
5. water that is pulled by gravity across the surface of the land
6. the movement of water through the soil itself; when water percolates, it moves through the layers of soil and eventually becomes groundwater
7. when water that falls from the clouds as precipitation collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams.
8. the process in which precipitation or water soaks into soils and moves into rocks through cracks and open surfaces

2. water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.
3. the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from parts such as leaves, stems, and flowers
4. The sun warms the Earth, and this warmth can cause water from oceans, lakes, streams, and so on to turn into water vapour.
