|
|

|
|
How precipitation occurs?
|
How precipitation occurs: tiny drops of water from condensation joint together to form a cloud. When they are too large and heavy they fall down to the surface of the Earth.
|
|
|
Gravity:
|
the force that pulled the drops of water down to earth when are too large and heavy.
|
|
|

|
solid, liquid and gas
|
|
|
Sun's energy:
|
power that drives the water cycle.
