5 Non-fiction: Weather The Water Cycle Condensation Weather The Water Cycle Evaporation Precipitation Where does the water that causes rain come from? Actually, the water was there all along. All of the water in the whole world has always been here. Think of all of the oceans and lakes on the globe. This is where the tiny water particles in the air come from. But how does this happen? The earth s water cycle 1 begins with a change in temperature. When the sun heats the earth, water from oceans, lakes, and rivers evaporates. It turns into an invisible gas or vapor. Water molecules rise into the air. Eventually, clouds form and the water drops back to earth as rain. The rain flows into rivers or streams back to the ocean or lakes again. Do you see the arrows in the picture? These arrows show the path of water from the ocean, to the sky, and then back to the earth. This is the water cycle. Condensation 2 also plays a big role in the creation of rain. The air far up in the sky can be very cold. When the warm air that contains invisible water droplets rises from earth and meets cold air, the droplets become visible. This process is called condensation. Clouds are formed as the air high up becomes colder and heavier. When the water drops grow too heavy to be held by the air, they fall out of the clouds as precipitation, 3 or rain. The rain runs into the Earth s oceans, rivers, and lakes. Then, the cycle starts all over again! 1 Water cycle- the water cycle is the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that brings the rain 2 Condensation- when water particles or water vapor come together to form a liquid. Condensation makes clouds 3 Precipitation- rain, hail, mist, sleet, snow or ice falling from the sky 2012 ReadWorks, Inc. All rights reserved. 1
