The Water Cycle
By MR
What is the water cycle?
• The water cycle is a cycle or pattern of the solar
system, because it repeats itself over and over
again and it never stops. This is what the water
cycle is or does. First there is evaporation.
Evaporation is when water rises from the ocean
from the heat of the sun into the air that we breath.
• Next there is transpiration. Transpiration is the
loss of water from parts of plants especially
leaves but also stems, flowers and roots. After
transpiration comes water vapor. Water vapor is
when water turns into a gas aka the gas phase
of water.
Then comes precipitation. Precipitation is the
formation of a solid in a solution or inside
another solid during a chemical reaction or by
diffusion in a solid. And last but not least there is
infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which
water on the ground enters the soil. That is the
water cycle.

How can we conserve water?
One way that we can conserve water is that when we clean our
driveway or sidewalk, instead of using a hose to clean we
can use a broom to clean our sidewalk and save water every
time!
What impact does the water cycle
have on us?
• Only 1 percent of water on our planet is drinkable. If we ruin
or pollute that water we could and might get sick if we aren’t
able to filter it and clean it. This is why we filter and clean
water. If that 1 percent of water does get ruined or polluted
we could get sick or die one way or another, because we
wont drink the water because we know its polluted or we will
drink that dirty polluted water and then get sick and possibly
die. If we could possibly filter that water then we could be
saved.
What impact does the water cycle
have on us continued…
• This is a picture of polluted water. If we didn’t have the ability
to filter and clean this water then nearly all of earth’s water
would be polluted. One thing that we could do to keep
earth a healthy safe environment is that on any day, anytime
,and anywhere we could pick up litter on the ground that we
see and throw it away in the nearest trash can we see or
recycle it.
Why clean water? What could
happen if we don’t?
• This is a picture of a water filter. This water filter cleans dirty
water for us so that we can use it as bottled fresh drinking
water or use it for other reasons such as cleaning. If we didn’t
clean this water we would be using dirty or polluted to drink.
Every living thing on the planet depends on a CLEAN fresh
supply of water. So if we don’t CLEAN that water then we are
not getting the CLEAN supply of water that we are supposed
to be getting.
Good-bye Water Cycle
