 The water cycle

 liquid water is found in oceans, rivers, lakes—and even underground.

The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states. The four-part water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation

In an enclosed environment, a liquid will evaporate until the surrounding air is saturated. Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. ... Evaporation of water occurs when the surface of the liquid is exposed, allowing molecules to escape and form water vapor; this vapor can then rise up and form clouds.

 

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems, and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.

 

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. ... These clouds may produce precipitation, which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth's surface within the water cycle. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.

 

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.

Each year the world is using 9,087 billion cubic meters of water per year. That's a lot of water that's getting used each year.

Humans are creating a problem by making lots and lots of plastic and polluting the water. Also killing sea life by making plastic and its blowing into the sea and the fish think its food and eat it and die.

China uses 362 trillion gallons of water every year that`s the most in the world that gets used in one year per country.

Now you know how much water the world uses per year and how the water cycle works and the three different steps. The end.

WALT: do an Explanation for our tests coming up.

I learned that doing more explaining is better than not. 

I enjoyed finding the picture.

I found it challenging to do all the paragraphs.

Next time I could work on maybe doing a bit more paragraphs.
