====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.

====Evaporation====
Water in oceans, lakes and rivers evaporates to become water vapour.
The warmer the weather the quicker the water evaporates.
====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 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.
