The water cycle is the only way that Earth can have all the water it needs.  The sun’s heat is the most important part of renewing our water supply.

4. Parts of the Water Cycle
There are 4 parts:
Condensation
Precipitation
Accumulation
Evaporation

5. Condensation This happens when the clouds start to form
Examples are clouds, dew, and steam

6. Precipitation This is when rain falls from the clouds.
Examples are rain, snow, sleet, and hail

7. Accumulation
This is when the water makes puddles or collects in a bunch.
Examples are puddles, lakes, rivers, and oceans.

8. Evaporation
This happens when the sun’s heat dries up the puddle and the water turns into water vapor.
