1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000 The sun heats the surface water. The water turns from a liquid into a gas. This is called evaporation. 2 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:24,000 The gas rises into the atmosphere and cools. This is called condensation. 3 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:36,719 And drop form cloud. Tiny drop form to make large drop. 4 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:56,350 When the cloud is full, the water falls from the cloud into the lakes and rivers. 5 00:00:56,350 --> 00:00:59,350 This is called precipitate. 6 00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:14,989 The precipitated water goes to the lakes, rivers and undergrounds and travels to the seas and oceans. This is called collection.
