    The document discusses the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Through the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transpiration, water is cycled from the oceans and other bodies of water into the atmosphere, then back to the Earth's surface and oceans in an endless cycle. The water cycle, driven by energy from the sun, is crucial for sustaining life on Earth.

    THE WATER

    CYCLE
    PRESENTED BY: STEPHANIE S. BIYO
    The Water Cycle
    What was the video is all
    about?
    The Water Cycle

     Water never leaves the Earth. It is


    constantly being cycled through the
    atmosphere, ocean, and land. This
    process, known as the water cycle, is
    driven by energy from the sun. The
    water cycle is crucial to the existence
    of life on our planet.
    Evaporation
     Evaporation is the process
    where a liquid, in this case
    water, changes from its liquid
    state to a gaseous state.
     Some of the water in the
    oceans and freshwater
    bodies, such as lakes and
    rivers, is warmed by the sun
    and evaporates.
    Condensation
     Condensation is the opposite
    of evaporation. Condensation
    occurs when a gas is
    changed into a liquid.
     When the water droplets
    formed from condensation
    are very small, they remain
    suspended in the atmosphere.
     These millions of droplets of
    suspended water form clouds
    in the sky or fog at ground
    level.
    Precipitation
     When the temperature and atmospheric
    pressure are right, the small droplets of
    water in clouds form larger droplets and
    precipitation occurs. The raindrops fall to
    Earth.
     When rain falls on the land, some of the
    water is absorbed into the ground forming
    pockets of water called groundwater.
    Most groundwater eventually returns to the
    ocean. Other precipitation runs directly
    into streams or rivers. Water that collects in
    rivers, streams, and oceans is called runoff.
    Percolation(Infiltration)
    Percolation is an important process
    where rain water soaks into
    (infiltrates) the ground, into the soil
    and underlying rock layers.
    Some of this water ultimately returns
    to the surface at springs or in low
    spots downhill.
    Transpiration
     One final process is important in the water cycle.
    As plants absorb water from the soil, the water
    moves from the roots through the stems to the
    leaves.
     Once the water reaches the leaves, some of it
    evaporates from the leaves, adding to the
    amount of water vapor in the air.
    The Water Cycle

     Condensation transpiration, precipitation and all


    the others are part of the water cycle, a
    complex process that not only gives us water to
    drink and food to eat, but also the weather
    patterns that help grow our crops.

    END
