How Water Recycles

Our water continually recycles. I’ll try to explain how it’s done. It involves certain reactions. I’ll discuss them one-by-one. Evaporation is the first that I’ll mention. The water gets warm from the sun This turns the water to vapor That’s all there is to step one. The next step is condensation The vapor rises and cools in the blue. It gets cool enough to turn into clouds That completes step number two. The clouds then get even colder Tiny drops of vapor take formation As rain, hail, sleet or snow This is called precipitation. Most precip falls in the ocean Then falls on the ground for a spell. It’s stored in aquifers underground It’s used to supply water wells. That’s basically how it recycles It’s an interesting realization There are three contributing factors Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
