Water Cycle
There are steps to the water cycle. There is evoporation, condensation, and preciptation. Evaporation is when the sun's heat causes the water to change to liquid vapor. Condensation is when the water vapor cools off and returns to being a liquid. Precipitation is when the water falls back down to the land. Some water folws back into oceans, rivers, lakes and streams and that is called runoff. Soem precipitation gets in the ground and stored in spaces in rocks called groundwater.
Transpiration
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plant stems and leaves.
