The Water Cycle
Most of Earth’s water is in the oceans. The sun drives the water cycle by heating water, causing it to evaporate into the air. Ice and snow can also sublimate directly into water vapor. As air rises, it cools and condenses into clouds. Air currents move these clouds globally. Within clouds, tiny water particles collide, grow, and eventually fall as precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). Snow can accumulate as ice caps and glaciers, storing water for thousands of years. In warmer climates,
