The Water Cycle

Have you ever wondered what happens to puddles after a big rainstorm? Each bit of precipitation in our world goes through the water cycle. The water cycle is the movement of all the water on Earth. The water in, on, and above the Earth is always moving and changing states. It changes from liquid to vapor. It changes from vapor to ice, and back again. The cycle continually repeats itself. First, the sun heats up the Earth’s surface and draws water into the atmosphere. This process is called evaporation. This is what makes puddles disappear! The water evaporates, changing from a liquid into a gas. Then, as the water vapor rises into the sky, it cools down. It turns back into a liquid when it is in the clouds.

Question: What is the first step in the Water Cycle?

The sun heats up the Earth's surface and draws water into the atmosphere.

Love,
