The Water Cycle














The picture above shows that evaporation is the process where water changes from a liquid into a gas and turns into water vapour.


The picture on the right shows that condensation is the opposite of evaporation. It happens when water vapour changes from a gas into a liquid.







The picture on the left shows that precipitation is the condensation in the atmosphere that falls as rain, hail, snow or dew.









The picture on the right shows that infiltration is when water goes into the soil.

All your graphics were of the complete water cycle, and that's ok. Some students cut out just the parts that referred to the exact concept you were aiming for. Know what I mean?
