The Water Cycle

Evaporation is when the water is transfared up into the air. In this picture the small bubbles are water vapor, which carries the water up into the sky.

Condensation is the process which creates clouds, and so it's necessary for rain and snow formation as well.

Precipitation is when there is too much water in the clouds that the cloud can't hold on to it anymore. So then the cloud has to let the water out which causes rainfall.

Infiltration is when the rainfall drops onto the ground, and then sinks into any hole or crack there is in the ground.

And then the Water Cycle starts all over again!
