Grade 4 Oceanography and Hydrology
Use the diagram of the hydrologic cycle to help fill in the blanks in the paragraph.
Water Cycles Simple
First, a water droplet              evaporates             , it becomes water vapor in the air. Next, the water vapor              condenses               to become a cloud, fog, or mist. Then the condensed water droplets               precipitate               back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. On Earth, the water often flows into                  rivers/streams                  and flows out to a large body of water like a lake or an ocean. Water can also seep into the ground through loose soil or cracks and become               groundwater              .
