What is the water cycle? (illustrations are accepted)
The water cycle is the process by which water moves through Earth’s atmosphere, surface, and underground. It has four main steps:
Evaporation - Water from oceans, lakes, and rivers turns into water vapor and rises into the air.
Condensation - The water vapor cools and turns into clouds.
Precipitation - Water falls from the clouds as rain, snow, or hail.
Collection - The water gathers in rivers, lakes, and oceans to start the cycle again.
The water cycle is important because it provides fresh water for plants, animals, and people and helps regulate Earth's temperature.
