Science Water Cycle

Condensation is the process where gas turns into liquid, forming clouds.

No, precipitation does not fall in the same amounts throughout the world.

Precipitation can take various forms, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

Runoff is the process where precipitation flows off from land into oceans, rivers, and lakes.

Collection is the process in which water gradually gathers in large bodies such as oceans, lakes, and rivers.

Clouds are formed by condensation and are essential for precipitation to occur.

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into vapor and enters the atmosphere.

Higher temperatures increase evaporation rates, while lower temperatures decrease them.

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plants and released as vapor into the atmosphere.

Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to long-term patterns of temperature and precipitation.
