1. Water Cycle
The Hydrologic Cycle

2. I’ve got the power!

3. Evaporation
Eventually the vapor rises into the air and collects in clouds.  
Heat energy from the sun causes water in puddles, streams, rivers, seas, oceans or lakes to change from a liquid to water vapor (a gas).
This is called evaporation.

4. Transpiration
Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water out of their leaves. 
Transpiration gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the water vapor back up into the air.

5. Condensation
As water vapor rises and cools, it collects around dust particles (or condenses) and forms clouds.Water vapor (a gas) becomes liquid again.
This is called condensation.

6. Precipitation This is called precipitation.
When clouds are saturated gravity pulls the water to the earth. Mainly as rain, but sometimes as snow, sleet, and hail.
This is called precipitation.

7. Run Off
Surface run off: movement of water on Earth’s surface to collect in rivers, streams, lakes and oceans.
Subsurface run off: movement of water beneath the Earth’s surface that eventually collects in aquifers and springs.

8. Infiltration occurs when the water moves from the surface into the soil.
Then water percolates down through the soil. The rate of percolation depends on the type of soil.

9. Accumulation a.k.a. collection
Water collects in rivers, lakes, streams, and the ocean.
