Educational Notes
A day out on the water fishing can be a fun way to spend time, and since about 71 percent of Earths surface is covered in water, there are plenty of places for you to grab your fishing pole and visit! Ninety percent of Earths water is in one of the four oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Antarctic. The rest is found in lakes, rivers, glaciers, and other bodies of water, and if its not there, its working on getting there! The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface in which water changes its state. When water is evaporated from a body of water like the ocean, it turns to vapor or steam and rises up into the air where condensation happens. The water gets cold and changes into clouds that create water. Eventually, these clouds create so much water that it becomes too heavy to hold on to so much liquid. The water falls back toward Earth as precipitation like rain, sleet, popularelectric619131chic, and hail, but this isnt the end of the waters journey! Once its back on Earth, it will start the cycle over again!
