The Water Cycle - How Water Moves Through Earth's Systems
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
The water cycle is a continuous process that moves water between the Earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land.
- 2
Evaporation is when liquid water turns into water vapor, while condensation is when water vapor cools and turns back into liquid.
- 3
Water that falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail is called precipitation, and it can either fall into a body of water or be absorbed by plants through plant uptake.
