The Water Cycle By Bryce Taylor


As you should know by now, water falls from the sky as rain, this rain accumulates as things such as puddles and rivers but copious quantities of it can cause flooding.

Also I’m assuming that you have taken notice of that big, bright, fiery thing in the sky called the Sun? If not look out your window (we do not advise or recommend that you look at the sun). The Sun’s rays (of light and heat) Heat up water until it’s particles spread apart and become a gas, this is called evaporating the gas (water Vapour) rises into the air where it accumulates again but as clouds, yes those big white or grey fluffy things in the sky aren’t sheep they are large amounts of water vapour that are blown about in the sky by wind, when a cloud begins to gather too much vapour it becomes dense and visibly grey, the vapour in these grey clouds bunches together until it returns to its liquid form (water) that then falls to earth due to gravity where it accumulates as puddles and rivers and repeats the process over and over, but some clouds release their water droplets on mountains where most of it hardens even more and forms ice/snow that eventually melts and runs down the mountains to create rivers that gain water that evaporates and the process repeats, if you’re confused as of what this means read this over and over until you get it, or ask someone who cares.
