Water is recycled again and again in the water cycle. Water accumulates, or gathers in lakes and oceans. When water reaches
its vapor point it evaporates into the air. This gas travels upward until it reaches a cold thermal layer above the earth. The
temperature of this air causes the warm gaseous water to cool and become liquid. This process is called condensation. Clouds
are the result of condensation. As more water vapor condenses at the cold thermal layer, the water particles become large and
heavy. These water molecules eventually fall out of the sky as rain, snow, hail, and sleet. This is called precipitation.
2. Water runs off the land into the rivers and lakes.
