Water+Cycle

The water cycle is the movement of water around the Earth. It's the Earth's way of recycling water since we can never get any more. The main parts are EVAPORATION , CONDENSATION , PRECIPITATION  and COLLECTION/ACCUMULATION .

EVAPORATION - the sun HEATS  up water so it changes from a liquid (water) to a gas (water vapor) CONDENSATION  - water vapor (a gas) in the atmosphere <span style="color: #140bef; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">COOLS <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> off and turns <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">back into a liquid (water) and forms clouds <span style="color: #06b743; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">PRECIPITATION <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> - clouds become so heavy that GRAVITY pulls the water back <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">to Earth as either <span style="color: #0ec84a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">RAIN, SLEET <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">(watery snow), <span style="color: #19be71; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">SNOW <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> or <span style="color: #06c16b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">HAIL <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> (ice) <span style="color: #e4aa11; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">COLLECTION/ACCUMULATION <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> - after it precipitates water either soaks into the ground or <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">accumulates (gathers) in an ocean, lake, river, pond, etc.
