    The Water Cycle

    The water cycle is the never ending path that water takes to
    the sky and back to the earth, all ways changing forms.
    Evaporation
    Evaporation happens when the sun heats the water into a
    gas called water vapour. The vapour then rises up into the
    sky, and as it does, it starts to cool down.
    Transpiration
    Transpiration is when plants give of water that then
    evaporates up into the sky as water vapour.
    Condensation
    Condensation happens when the water vapour cools down
    entirely and turns back into tiny water droplets. Then all the
    tiny water droplets cling together to form clouds.
    Precipitation
    Precipitation happens when the clouds slowly get heavy with
    water. They then start to rain. Clouds can precipitate by rain,
    hail, snow or sleet.
    Collection
    Collection happens when water fills ponds, puddles, rivers
    and lakes.

    Infiltration
    Infiltration is when the collected water gets soaked up into
    the ground. As it flows underground, the dirt clings to the
    rocks so the water turns out clean.
    Dont waste water. We only have 2.5% of fresh water in the
    world in the world. 97.5% of the worlds water is salt water
    and we cant drink that. Salt water makes us thirstier until we
    cant drink any more.
