===About The Water Cycle===
: Without the '''water cycle''' we could not have fresh water in rivers and lakes.
{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File: WaterCycle.png|center|500px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:500px; text-align:left;" |The '''water cycle''' has three phases:
*[[Evaporating|Evaporation]]
*[[Condensing|Condensation]]
*[[Precipitation]]|}
====Evaporating====
====Condensing====
Water vapour that rises high into the air, cools down, and condenses into millions of water droplets that we call a [[cloud]].
====Precipitation====
Water droplets in a cloud group together and when the droplets are big enough they fall as rain. When the water droplets can freeze to become snow.
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
The '''Water Cycle''' is a series of processes that recycle [[water]].
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''Water Cycle''' is a series of processes that recycle [[water]].
===About The Water Cycle===
: The '''water cycle''' provides a constant supply of fresh water in rivers and lakes.

| style="height:20px; width:500px; text-align:left;" |The '''water cycle''' happens due to several processes:
*[[Evaporating|Evaporation]]
*[[Transpiration]]
*[[Condensing|Condensation]]
*Precipitation
|}
====Evaporation====
[[Water]] in [[ocean]]s, lakes and rivers [[Evaporation|evaporate]]s to become [[Water Vapour|water vapour]].
The warmer the weather the quicker the water [[Evaporation|evaporate]]s.
====Transpiration====
[[Water]] [[Absorb (Biology)|absorbed]] through the [[root]]s of [[plant]]s travels up to the [[leaf|leaves]] where it [[evaporating|evaporates]].
====Condensation====
[[Water Vapour|Water vapour]] that rises high into the [[air]], cools down, and [[Condensing|condenses]] into millions of [[water]] droplets that we call a cloud.
====Precipitation====
[[Water]] droplets in a cloud group together and when the droplets are big enough they fall as rain. When the [[water]] droplets can freeze to become snow.
