evaporation
EvaporationEvaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air

Condensation
Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes

Precipitation
Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get
