The sun sends energy to Earth. This energy, solar energy, helps drive the water cycle. Can you match each term with the correct explanation?


This is another term for vaporization, the
part of the water cycle in which water changes =
from a liquid to a gas. Water moves from
bodies of water on Earth to water vapor
in the atmosphere.

This is the evaporation of water from above
ground parts of plants, especially from leaves =
but also from stems and flowers.

This is the movement of landwater to
the oceans, mainly from rivers, lakes, =
and streams.

Rain, snow, sleet, hail. Condensed =
water falls back to Earth

This is the process of water
changing from a gas to a liquid. =
You will see clouds forming when this
happens.
