Today you are going to learn about WATER CYCLE. The topic includes: basic geographical and
chemical features (revision) and development structure (hydrological cycle).
Warm-up

Evaporation
On a warm, __________________ day, water in a glass of water seems to slowly disappear. This is
because the energy from the sun is _______________ the water up and turning the liquid water into
water ______________. When the water _____________, it becomes an invisible gas in the
_______________. Evaporation takes places all over the earth, but especially in the _____________
and ________________ where there is lots of water.
Condensation
As the water vapor rises, it cools off and ______________________ into water _________________.
If the water vapor becomes extremely cold, it will form ice ________________ instead of water droplets.
As the water droplets or ice crystals grow bigger and more numerous, they form
___________________.

If water droplets or ice crystals become too _______________, they can’t stay in the air. They
___________. Water droplets precipitate as _____________ and ice crystals precipitate as
___________. Sometimes, the rain freezes before it hits the earth and precipitates as
_________________.
Runoff
This precipitation gathers into ________________ and _________________ that flow down to the lakes
and oceans. This is called ________________. Not all of the water makes it back to the oceans and
lakes right away. Some of it is used by animals and ___________. Some is frozen into
