Describe how the water cycle works 1st the water in the ocean warms up and evaporates. Then the warm air cools and excess water vapor turns into liquid water in a process called condensation. 3rd the clouds gather more water and release it as precipiataion. Then water falls on land into the oceans and repeats the cycle
what is condensation when warm air cools, it cannot keep all of its water vapor, so the excess water vapor changes into liquid water
What is ground water and how does it get into the ground fresh water that lies beneath the earths surface which comes from rain and melted snow that filter through soil and from water that seeps into the ground from laks and rivers
