Evaporation
> Evaporation > Condensation > Precipitation >
Evaporation is when the water transformes from liquid form to gas form. The water form the earth ( oceans, rivers, lakes, etc) turns into water vapor and goes up into the atmosphere.
Condensation
> Evaporation > Condensation > Precipitation >
Condensation is when the water vapor changes from its gas form back into liquid droplets. We can see this step as clouds in the air.
Precipitation
> Evaporation > Condensation > Precipitation >
Precipitation is when the collected water droplets in the air are leavy enough to fall back on the earths ground. Precipitation can be in many different forms such as snow, rain, sleet, and hail.
