The water cycle
Storyboard Text
- Sun and Water
- Evaporation
- Transpiration
- The sun is what makes the water cycle work.Heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds. clouds that move over the globe and drop rain and snow. This process is a large part of the water cycle.
- Condensation
- In the water cycle, evaporation occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water
- precipitation
- Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves
- Accumulation
- Condensation is the process of a gas changing to a liquid. In the water cycle, water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and becomes liquid
- Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth
- Accumulation can also be groundwater, which is water that goes into the Earth's surface and is absorbed by roots to help plants grow Evaporation as the Sun shines on accumulated water the water heats up and turns into water vapor
