Hello. I am Donatello or Donnie for short. And today we are going to learn about...

Mikey will you stop with that noise?!?!?!?!?!?!

Will you guys keep it down I'm reading about the water cycle.

We all know that is not true Leonardo-kun. ;)

She has a point Leo.

Guys can I finish?

*sigh* Fine.

Anyway I will be talking about the- Wait a minute. Leo did you just say the water cycle?

Yeah...? Why...?

Well that is what I am going to talk about.

Hey. Has anyone seen Cat?

She's with me.

Oh. *sad sigh*

Aww. Donnie's sad

Anyway. Stage 1. Solar radition causes water to evaporate Then when moisture from the sea and plants is lifted into the atmosphere. As the sun beats down it warms the oceans, rivers and lakes. This causes the water to rise into the air as water vapour.

Then Stage 2. As the water vapour rises in the atmosphere, it cools and condenses, forming clouds. This process is known as condensation. ... The clouds will then produce rain or snow (known as precipitation) which returns to the Earth's surface as water.

This will help me become a waterbender!!!!

Uh uhn.

Okay. Umm... Anyway Step 4: Precipitation: The clouds (condensed water vapors) then pour down as precipitation due to wind or temperature change. This occurs because the water droplets combine to make bigger droplets. Also when the air cannot hold any more water, it precipitates. At high altitudes the temperature is low and hence the droplets lose their heat energy. These water droplets fall down as rain. If the temperature is very low (below 0 degrees), the water droplets fall as snow. Water also precipices in the form of drizzle, sleet and hail. Hence water enters lithosphere.

And then there is Step 5: Transpiration

As water precipitates, some of it is absorbed by the soil. This water enters into the process of transpiration. Transpiration is a process similar to evaporation where liquid water is turned into water vapor by the plants. The roots of the plants absorb the water and push it toward leaves where it is used for photosynthesis. The extra water is moved out of leaves through stomata (very tiny openings on leaves) as water vapor. Thus water enters the biosphere and exits into gaseous phase.
