        Water is always in constant motion, even if we cannot see it.The cycle is called the Water Cycle.Heat from the sun causes water to rise off from oceans, lakes, and streams.This process is called Evaporation, transforms liquid into water vapor.Then the liquid water transforms into water vapor.Water from plants and trees also enters the atmosphere, through a process called transpiration.As water vapor rises, the cooler temperature makes the water vapor turn back into tiny water droplets, creating clouds.This process is called condensation.Clouds grow bigger as they collect more and more tiny water droplets.When the water droplets from bigger and heavier, they fall to Earth's surface as snow, sleet, or rain.This is called Precipitation.The water that falls on the ground flows over land to form streams and rivers, and finally oceans.This is called Surface runoff.Some of this water soaks in the ground, becoming ground water.Plants and trees absorb some of the water.The rest of the ground water sink deeper, and then flows back to streams, rivers, or oceans.Then the cycle starts all over again!

Write what the water cycle is, how it works, and what you learned from the text.
