Learning Objective

I can describe the different parts of the water cycle.

  • 1

    The four main steps of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

  • 2

    During evaporation, water changes from a liquid to a gas called water vapor and rises into the atmosphere.

  • 3

    During condensation, water vapor cools and turns back into a liquid, forming clouds, which leads to precipitation such as rain or snow.
