The water cycle The water cycle is the constant circulation of water between the sea, the atmosphere and land. 1.- Liquid water in the sea, rivers and lakes evaporates because of heat from the Sun. 2.- Water vapour rises and condenses into drops of water. The water drops form clouds. 3.- Water falls from clouds as rain, precipitation . If it’s very cold, water solidifies and falls as snow. 4.- Water flows over the land and filters into it. It forms rivers and lakes. It’s the collection .Some water returns to the sea or evaporates. The water cycle starts again.

The water cycle

The water cycle is the constant circulation of

water between the sea, the atmosphere and land.

1.- Liquid water in the sea, rivers and lakes

evaporates because of heat from the Sun.

2.- Water vapour rises and condenses into drops of

water. The water drops form clouds.

3.- Water falls from clouds as rain, precipitation. If

it’s very cold, water solidifies and falls as snow.

4.- Water flows over the land and filters into it. It

forms rivers and lakes. It’s the collection .Some

water returns to the sea or evaporates.

The water cycle starts again.
