Water Cycle

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

The forms of precipitation include rain, sleet, snow, and hail.

No, the water that evaporates from the ocean does not contain salt; the salt remains in the ocean.

No, there is more water than land on Earth.

The sun is the driving force of the Earth's weather.

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, usually due to heat.

Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

Clouds are formed by condensation and are essential for precipitation, returning water to the Earth's surface.

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, involving processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
