Hello there! I am Mr Drop and I am a water droplet.
Today we will be learning about the water cycle. I, a water droplet, will go through each step of the cycle one by one.
You don't see me now, I've changed because of evaporation! Evaporation is the process of water changing its state from a liquid to a gas. I absorb energy to change into water vapor, but I'm still water. In this process, I cool the surrounding environment.
Now I'm inside a cloud! Clouds are formed by a process called condensation. Condensation is when water changes its state again from a gas to a liquid. It has a warming effect since it releases heat.
The next part of the cycle is precipitation, in which I come down in the atmosphere as either a liquid or a solid, in the form of snow, rain, or hail.
Next is Collection. During collection, I, along with other water droplets, flow off to a stream or river where we get collected.
And there you have it, the water cycle! I go through this cycle again and again: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and finally collection, no new water ever enters the Earth.
