  1. The Water Cycle By: Mrs. Rios

  2. What are clouds? • A cloud is a collection of tiny water drops or ice crystals in the air. • - Precipitation falls from the clouds. However not all clouds bring precipitation. • -There are different types of clouds.

  3. Stratus clouds. • - Status clouds are low, flat layers of clouds. • - They can be gray or white. • -They bring rain or snow. • Fog is a stratus cloud that forms near the ground.

  4. Cirrus Clouds • - Cirrus clouds are white, thin clouds that form high above the ground. • -They are seen during fair weather, on a warm, sunny day.

  5. Cumulus clouds • - They are white, puffy clouds, with flat bottoms. • - You see them during fair weather. • -If they become dark, they may bring thunderstorms.

  6. How do clouds form? • Evaporation: Water in clouds, and fog comes from the water in earth’s surface. • - The sun shines on the water, and water evaporates, or changes into gas.

  7. Evaporation • - The changing of a liquid to a gas. • -Water in gas form is called: water vapor.

  8. Condensation: • - When the water changes from gas to liquid. • - Water vapor rises into the air and cools down. Then it condenses and gathers around dust in the air. • - This is how clouds are formed.

  9. What is the water cycle? • - Water moves from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere, and back again. • -There could be no water cycle without the sun.

  10. Water evaporates: • - The sun’s energy heats water in lakes, rivers, oceans, streams, and land. • - water turns into water vapor.

  11. Water condenses: • - Water vapor rises and cools. • - water vapor turns into liquid water drops. • -Drops form clouds.

  12. Water falls • - When enough water has condensed in clouds, water falls to the earth, as precipitation.

  13. Water flows: • -Some precipitation flows into lakes, rivers, and oceans. • - Some soaks into land and becomes underground water.

  14. Severe weather: • - Water cycles can produce severe weather. • -Example: Thunderstorms: a storm with thunder, lightning, heavy rains, strong winds, and even hail.

  15. Tornadoes: • - Storm with rotating winds that form over land. • - Looks like a big, tall tunnel. • -It damages most things in it’s path.

  16. Hurricanes: • - A large storm with strong winds and heavy rain. • - It forms over the ocean. • -When it moves over land, it’s winds, and rain damage property.

  17. Blizzard: • - A storm with lots of snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds. • - Blizzards bury plants, cars, and buildings under snow.
