The Hydrologic Cycle(Water Cycle)

• The path water takes as it circulates from the
  land to the sky and back again. Water is recycled
  this way so we do not run out. So every time you
  get a drink of water remember you are drinking
  the same water the dinosaurs drank.

Parts of the hydrologic cycle

• Evaporation
• Condensation
• Precipitation

5
Evaporation

• Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in
  rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into
  vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves
  the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.

6
Condensation

• Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back
  into liquid, forming clouds. This is called
  condensation.

7
Precipitation

• Precipitation occurs when so much water has
  accumulated that the air cannot hold it anymore. 
  The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the
  earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.
