The amount of water on Earth
remains constant, but it is continually moving around the Earth and its
atmosphere in a process called the water cycle. It exists as a liquid (water)
in seas, rivers and clouds; it freezes into a solid (ice) as snow and hail; and
it also exists as an invisible gas in the air.
When the sun heats up water
in rivers, lakes and seas, it changes from a liquid into a gas called water
vapour. This process is known as evaporation. As the water vapour rises into
the atmosphere, it cools and condemses and forms clouds.As the cloud droplets
move around, they collide with each other ang grow bigger. When they are heavy
enough, they fall as rain, and the water flows back into rivers, lakes, and
seas.
