The Water Cycle

The Water Cycle

The water cycle is also known as the hydrogical cycle. There is the same amount of water on earth now as there was when the earth began. The water cycle is how the earth’s water recycles itself.

The cycles includes precipitation, evaporation, condensation, and transpiration. Earth’s water keeps changing from liquid water to vapour and the back again. This cycle happens because of the sun’s heat and gravity. First all, water molecules from lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, and the sea get heated up by the sun and the turn into vapour that rises into the air. Then, the water molecules go into the sky because it heated up by the sun and will change it form into the clouds. Next, these water molecules form into clouds, this is because a process called condensation occurs. When the air and the water cool, they from drops of water which then fall to the earth as rain. If they are frozen, they become snow. Once the water reaches the ground, it can flow across the land until it reaches rivers, lakes, streams, or the sea. It can also sink into the ground and flow because of gravity through gaps in rock, gravel, and sand. Because of this, it reaches these bodies of water too. Now the cycle begins again, when water is evaporated once more.

Many of us think water is very important because the water is life source for the creature in the world. Without water, the human and the other creature will not life because the water and the creature connected one another.
