water cycle

3. – the condition of the atmosphere at a place for a short period of time, including humidity, cloud cover, temperature, wind, and precipitation
5. -When liquid water gets warm and turns into water vapor (a gas) that goes into the air, like when a puddle dries up.
6. -Water that falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
7. -Water that flows over the ground and into rivers, lakes, or oceans after it rains or snows.
8. – general pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time [30 years or more (many decades)]
10. -layer of air and gases that surrounds the Earth. It’s where weather happens

1. -The light and heat that comes from the sun, which powers processes like evaporation
2. -When water vapor in the air cools down and turns back into tiny drops of liquid water, like when clouds form.
4. – the change of water from one state to another as it moves between Earth’s surfaces to the atmosphere
9. -The process where plants release water vapor into the air through tiny openings in their leaves.
