Question

Write a brief paragraph using the terms evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection to explain the water cycle. Write your paragraph on paper or type it using a word processing program.

Answer 1

Hey there,

Water can evaporate from oceans, lakes ponds, streams, and puddles. This means that the water can pretty much float into the air, like it has a magnetic attraction to the clouds. These water droplets wrap themselves around dust and other irritants in the atmosphere. This is called condensation. Once clouds are formed, they keep collecting water until they are full. When clouds are full, they release water through precipitation. This means the water either falls in droplets again like rain or dew, or it freezes and falls as snow, sleet or hail. Fianally, collection is the process is where water collects to form puddles, or falls into streams, rivers, lakes or oceans.

Hope this helps!!
