ART TALK Forces that Shape the Earth Topic for today: The Water Cycle By: Chris Heaton

Back Ground Knowledge �What do YOU think the water cycle is? ? �Share and Compare your information with the person next to you

What is the Water Cycle? �The Water Cycle is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again.

How does the Water Cycle work? �As the water evaporates, water vapors rise and condense into clouds called condensation. The clouds move over the land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice or snow. The water fills streams and rivers, and eventually flows back into the oceans where evaporation starts the process anew

Key Words �Condensation- water vapor becomes liquid �Precipitation- water that falls to the earth(ex. Rain) �Evaporation- Process when liquid changes into gas
