The Water Cycle
The heat from the sun is a vital
part of the cycle.
Did you know that there is the same amount
of water on Earth now as there was when
the Earth was first formed? This is because
of a process that includes precipitation,
collection, evaporation and condensation
known as The Water Cycle.
How does the Water Cycle work?
1. To begin with, water, which is stored
on Earth in lakes, seas, oceans, streams
and rivers, is heated up by the sun. This turns the liquid water into a gas called
water vapour.
2. At this point, the water vapour rises and
it is seen in the sky as clouds. This is evaporation.
3. As the water vapour rises, it begins to
cool down and becomes liquid again. This
part of the process is called condensation.
* You sometimes see condensation on kitchen and bathroom windows.
These water droplets eventually fall back to
earth as precipitation – rain, snow, hail or sleet.
4. As the water reaches the ground, it
flows back to rivers, sea, streams and
oceans. Some water is absorbed by plants or drunk by animals, but most ends up in
bodies of water. This final part is called
collection.
5. The cycle is now ready to begin again.
This process is continuous and is
happening all around us, all the time. The
Water Cycle is vital for life on Earth.
Without it, life would not be able to exist
on our planet.
Did you know?
The Water Cycle is also known as the
Hydrological Cycle.

Question One (1 Mark)
1 mark for identifying the relevant phrase from the text
Did you know?
Question Two (1 Mark)
1 mark for a sensible response
E.g. The water cycle wouldn’t be able to work as effectively as there would be
less space for the rain to fall into.
Question Three (2 Marks)
1 mark for a simple response
E.g. The water cycle wouldn’t be able to function correctly.
2 marks for a more developed response/justification
E.g. The water cycle wouldn’t be able to function correctly because there
needs to be liquid for precipitation to occur.
Question Four (2 Marks)
1 mark relating to ‘eventually’
E.g. It takes a long time
2 marks with reference to ‘eventually’ with justification
E.g. The word ‘eventually’ implies the process is a long one. The condensation
process can take a long time and the water droplets may be held in the clouds
for a while before they fall to the earth as precipitation.
Question Five (1 Mark)
1 mark for circling the correct response
a small amount
Question Six (2 Marks)
1 mark for an appropriate impression. 1 mark for supporting evidence
Impression – It is essential/ the water cycle wouldn’t work without it.
Evidence – The heat from the sun is a vital part of the cycle.
