Explain each step of the water cycle.
(Evaporation)The sun heats the water and turns it in to water vapor.
(Condensation) Water vapor goes into the cold atmosphere and forms tiny droplets of water which form clouds.
(Precipitation) The clouds become heavy with the tiny droplets of water that then fall from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
(Run off) The water then falls to land and back into oceans which then starts the Water Cycle again.
