Water Cycle
Changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates back down to Earth.

Moisture in the air cools and condenses and forms clouds
Evaporation
Physical change in matter from liquid to a gas
Transpiration
Water evaporates from leaves of plants
Precipitation

Run-Off

Groundwater
Precipitation that falls back onto the land
Accumulation
