Water Cycle Explanation

💧🌀Water Cycle Explanation🌀💧

Today I am going to explain to you about the water cycle and what happens. The water cycle takes the water and moves it up into the clouds and is moved around the earth.

The first thing that happens in the water cycle is transpiration/collection.

Transpiration is the word for plants drying out as the water is evaporated. Transpiration is really the collection of water from plants, puddles, streams etc. It then enters the atmosphere and is ready for the next stage.

The next step is evaporation. Evaporation happens when the water from plants, puddles etc. becomes hot by the sun and rises into the sky up to the clouds. That is called evaporation.

Now the water is in the clouds it can condensate. This means the water vapour cools down and turns into liquid. That is called condensation.

The last step is Precipitation. This means that the rain drops get big & drop back into the water. The main forms of precipitation is drizzle, rain, snow, hail and sleet.

That is the Water Cycle, transpiration/collection, evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Also other different cultures have a different type of water cycle idea. Such as the Maori culture, they have created a legend called Ranginui and Papatuanuku.

Ranginui is the sky father and Papatuanuku is the earth mother.
