  Evaporation

                     Water is heated 
                    •
                     Water turns into 
                    vapor (gas)

                     Vapor enters the

   Condensation
                            •
                            Water vapor cools 
                            because of 
                            temperature change

                            clouds

  Wind
              • Wind moves clouds to

   Precipitation
                          •Air cannot hold more 
                          water
                          •Water falls to the 
                          ground
                          • Rain, snow, sleet, hail
                          •Snow, Sleet, and hail 
                          result from freezing 
                          temperatures in the air.
