Water cycle



1. What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is a cycle where water is reused, the cycle is that clouds condensate, then the water in the clouds precipitates, after that the water goes onto the world below and evaporates back into the clouds, an then it starts all over again. The sun is the main energy source for this process.
2. Does the water cycle have a beginning or end?
The water really has no begging or end its just a ongoing process but i guess you can consider the evaporation point a starting point because the sun must evaporate the water , and if theres no precipitation before that evaporation could be a starting point.
3. Starting with a puddle on a sunny day, describe how water might move through the water cycle and eventually fall back as rain.
Well the puddle of water will evaporate due to the suns energy therefor going into the clouds condensating and then raining when to much condensation gets in the clouds raining ( condensation ) an dropping to the ground going into runoff in lakes and rivers. starting over again after that.
4. Create a diagram (using Google docs or word) of the puddle to rain scenario you created for extra credit.
