text: You can reference "Water Cycle" on google, and you should get plenty of hits, along with illustrations. The basic process is:\n\nEvaporation-heat turns liquid water in water vapor, sending it into the air\nTranspiration-plants and animals give off water vapor, sending it into the air\nCondensation-water vapor cools, turning into water droplets\nPrecipitation-water droplets become to heavy to float, falling to earth as rain or snow\n\nMany people include Runoff in the cycle (returning the precipitation to large water sources such as lakes and oceans)
