Q:2 What is the water cycle?


The water cycle or also known as the hydrologic cycle is the continuous movement of water from a liquid to a gas and back to a liquid and sometimes to a solid state. It consists of three major parts that the water goes threw. Evaporation is where the sun heats up the water on earth and it floats upwards as water vapor. From there it condensates and froms into a cloud where later on the clouds become heavy and release the water. This is known as percipitation, this is basicly when it rains. the only time the water can come down as a solid is when it is hailing because the water has frozen and becomes ice.

  1. It's really cool how the clouds can suck up the water from earth. An then it can release the water and cause it to rain. Then rolls down the hills and go back into the ocean and lakes. And it's cool how it starts all over again.
