the water cycle
word bank
condensation
evaporation
precipitation
transpiration
runoff water
river
think about the water cycle and write the correct step in the correct box.

Explanation:

1. Top-left box (clouds raining): This is water falling from clouds, matching Precipitation.
2. Top-right box (cloud-to-cloud arrow): This is water vapor forming clouds, matching Condensation.
3. Middle-right box (ocean to cloud arrow): This is water turning to vapor from the ocean, matching Evaporation.
4. Middle box (tree to cloud arrow): This is water released from plant leaves to air, matching Transpiration.
5. Upper bottom box (land to ocean flow): This is water moving over land to the ocean, matching Runoff Water.
6. Lower bottom box (stream on land): This is the named water feature, matching River.

Answer:

• Top-left box (clouds with rain): Precipitation
• Top-right box (cloud-to-cloud arrow): Condensation
• Middle-right box (ocean to cloud arrow): Evaporation
• Middle box (tree to cloud arrow): Transpiration
• Upper bottom box (land to ocean flow): Runoff Water
• Lower bottom box (stream on land): River
