1. The water cycle
By Katherine kemps

2. Let’s break it down
the water cycle includes transpiration, condensation,
precipitation, surface runoff, accumulation, and evaporation.

3. Transpiration
• Transpiration is the process of water movement through a
plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as from
leaves but also from stems and flowers.

4. Condensation
• Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter
from gas phase into liquid phase. It can also be defined as the
change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in
contact with any surface.

5. Precipitation
• precipitation is any product of the condensation of
atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. The main
forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, and
hail.

6. Surface runoff
• Surface runoff is the water flow that occurs when the soil is
infiltrated to full capacity and excess water from rain, melt
water, or other sources flows over the land.

7. Accumulation
• Accumulation is the process of surface runoff going into
lakes, rivers, streams, or other big bodies of water.

8. Evaporation
• Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas.

9. Questions
• In what process does a liquid turn into a gas?
• answer= evaporation
• In what process does water move through plants?
• Answer= transpiration
