  1. 1. The way that water moves between being water vapor to liquid water and then back to water vapor.
  2. 5. After precipitation falls to Earth’s surface, water will flow down to a collection point. The force of gravity pulls water down.
  3. 6. The gaseous state of water.
  4. 7. A form of water that falls to the Earth’s surface when so much water has condensed that the drops become heavier than the surrounding air.
  5. 8. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid water droplets in the air. This is how clouds are formed.
  6. 9. The energy source that drives the water cycle.

  1. 2. The evaporation of water from plants.
  2. 3. When the sun heats up a collection of water, it turns into vapor or steam as it rises into the air.
  3. 4. When water falls to the earth as precipitation, it collects in oceans, lakes, icebergs, puddles, rivers and streams.
