STAGE ONE
EVAPORATION
- As water droplets absorb energy from the Sun, their temperature increases, causing the water molecules to move faster.
- Approximately 97% of the earths water is found in Oceans.
- Energy from the sun causes water to from the surface of the sea.
EVAPORATE
- Once water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid, they escape into the air as vapor in a process called evaporation.

STAGE 2
CONDENSATION
- As the water vapor moves up into the air it begins to COOL DOWN.
- As these cool down they turn back to water droplets
- These water droplets come together to form.....
WEEEEE!!!!

CLOUDS
- Water droplets from cooled vapor combine to form clouds.
- However... As these droplets grow larger and heavier they will eventually fall from the cloud...

STAGE 3
Precipation
- Once again, as the water droplets absorb energy from the Sun, their temperature rises, causing the molecules to move faster.
- When they gain enough energy, the molecules escape into the air as vapor through evaporation.
AND THE WATER CYCLE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN...

Conclusion
Today we explored the three main stages of the water cycle...
This includes...
Where water absorbs energy from the Sun, turning into vapor and rising into the atmosphere.
Evaporation
Condensation
As the vapor cools, it condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds.
Precepitation
As the vapor cools, it condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds.
These processes continually recycle water, driving weather patterns and supporting life on Earth.
Stage 02 - Condensation
As water vapor rises into the atmosphere, it cools and loses energy. The water vapor then condenses, transforming back into tiny liquid droplets. These droplets cluster together, forming clouds.
Stage 01 - Evaporation
Water from oceans, lakes, and other surfaces absorbs energy from the Sun, causing the temperature of the water to increase. As a result, water molecules move faster and, when they have enough energy, transform from liquid into vapor, rising into the atmosphere.
Stage 03 - Precipitation
When water droplets in clouds become too heavy to remain suspended, they fall to the ground as precipitation. This can occur in various forms, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, returning water to Earth's surface to continue the water cycle.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the process by which liquid water transforms into a gas (water vapor). This happens when water molecules gain enough energy, usually from heat from the sun, to escape the surface of bodies of water like oceans, lakes, or rivers and enter the air as vapor.
