What are clouds?- A cloud is a collection
of tiny water drops or ice crystals in the air.
- - Precipitation falls from the clouds. However not all clouds bring precipitation.
- -There are different types of clouds.

Stratus clouds. - Status clouds are
low, flat layers of clouds.
- They can be gray or white.
-They bring rain or snow.
Fog is a stratus cloud that forms near the ground.

Cirrus Clouds - Cirrus clouds are
white, thin clouds that form high above the ground.
-They are seen during fair weather, on a warm, sunny day.

Cumulus clouds - They are white,
puffy clouds, with flat bottoms.
- You see them during fair weather.
-If they become dark, they may bring thunderstorms.

How do clouds form? Evaporation: Water
in clouds, and fog comes from the water in earth’s surface.
- The sun shines on the water, and water evaporates, or changes into gas.

Evaporation - The changing of
a liquid to a gas.
-Water in gas form is called: water vapor.

Condensation: - When the water
changes from gas to liquid.
- Water vapor rises into the air and cools down. Then it condenses and gathers around dust in the air.
- This is how clouds are formed.

What is the water cycle? - Water moves
from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere, and back again.
-There could be no water cycle without the sun.

Water evaporates: - The sun’s energy
heats water in lakes, rivers, oceans, streams, and land.
- water turns into water vapor.
![Page 11: The Water Cycle By: Mrs. Rios. What are clouds? - A cloud is a collection of tiny water drops or ice crystals in the air. - - Precipitation falls from](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5517b53c55034645368b60c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Water condenses: - Water vapor rises
and cools.
- water vapor turns into liquid water drops.
-Drops form clouds.

Water falls - When enough
water has condensed in clouds, water falls to the earth, as precipitation.

Water flows: -Some
precipitation flows into lakes, rivers, and oceans.
- Some soaks into land and becomes underground water.

Severe weather: - Water cycles can
produce severe weather.
-Example: Thunderstorms: a storm with thunder, lightning, heavy rains, strong winds, and even hail.

Tornadoes: - Storm with
rotating winds that form over land.
- Looks like a big, tall tunnel.
-It damages most things in it’s path.

Hurricanes: - A large storm
with strong winds and heavy rain.
- It forms over the ocean.
-When it moves over land, it’s winds, and rain damage property.

Blizzard: - A storm with lots
of snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds.
- Blizzards bury plants, cars, and buildings under snow.
