Evaporation:
Evaporation is when the water on the ground gets heated by the sun and becomes a water vapour. After it becomes a water vapour it becomes light and goes up to the sky. Once it reaches the sky it starts to become cold. Evaporation is something like hot tea becoming cold, wet clothes drying in the sun and wet hair drying. The next one is condensation.
Condensation:
Condensation is when the water vapour reaches the clouds and becomes water droplets. The water cycle process is when the rain comes down and makes a collection or puddle of water. An example for condensation is a foggy window on a cold day. The next step is precipitation.
Precipitation:
Precipitation is water released in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet (frozen raindrops), snow or hail. Precipitation is formed when raindrops in clouds combine.. The next one is a collection.
Collection:
The collection is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet collects in the ocean, rivers, lakes and streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.
