Examples of the water journey in nature for kids.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 💧 Evaporation: ☀️ The process where liquid water turns into water vapor and rises into the atmosphere. Think of a puddle disappearing on a sunny day!
• ☁️ Condensation: 🌬️ Water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds. This happens because the air higher up is colder.
• 🌧️ Precipitation: ☔ When clouds get too full of water, the water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• 🏞️ Collection: 🌊 The process where water gathers in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some of this water also seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
• 🔄 The Water Cycle: The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It's a cycle because it never stops!
