2. 1. Evaporation <-Back
The sun heats the ocean, making water droplets evaporate into the air.
<-Back

3. 2. Condensation <-Back
As the water vapor rises higher into the atmosphere, it cools and condenses to form clouds.
<-Back

4. 3. Precipitation <-Back
Eventually, the cloud becomes saturated with water droplets and the droplets fall as precipitation (rain, snow, etc.)
<-Back

5. 4. Runoff
Water seeps into the ground and is transported back into the ocean.
<-Back

6. 5. Transpiration <-Back
Plants give off water vapor in a process similar to evaporation.
