  • COLLECTION: What happens to water that falls as snow once it has reached Earth?
    It will eventually melt into liquid water, then either be evaporated, absorbed, underground or run over the ground into rivers, lakes, or oceans
  • COLLECTION: Water can fall on the oceans. How else does water collect in the oceans?
    It traves there in streams and rivers (run off)
  • EVAPORATION: How does temperature affect the speed of evaporation?
    The hotter the temperature, the faster the water will evaporate
  • Collection: Water that falls on the ground can be absorbed underground or evaporated. What else could happen to it?
    It can run over the ground and collect in rivers, lakes or oceans
  • PRECIPITATION: What is precipitation?
    Water in any form falling from the sky
  • COLLECTION: What happens to water once it has been collected in oceans, rivers or lakes?
    It is evaporated again
  • PRECIPITATION: Why does water eventually fall from the clouds?
    As the droplets of water clump together and cool down, they get bigger. Eventually, they are too big for the air to hold, so they fall down to Earth.
