4 (d) Water Cycle

I rise to the sky from the sea below…Then down to the ground as rain or snow…I represent the movement of water—that’s my purpose whether on, above, or below the earth’s surface. In a continuous cycle, my work’s never done ’Cause I’m driven by energy from the sun I travel through the sea, through the air, through the ground. You could say that water really gets around but in fact most water’s just chillin’ in the oceans only a small fraction is really in motion at any given time. That’s the way it goes when we’re studying the voyages of H2O In the cycle water changes states at various places. The three states being ice, liquid, and water vapor. But this cycle strays from the norm ‘Cause through the process, water still keeps the same structural form While other cycles involve chemical change Water may change states, but its structure stays the same.

I rise to the sky from the sea below. Then down to the ground as rain or snow. I keep it moving, moving, ’cause I’m the water cycle moving, moving, ’cause I’m the water cycle. So when water transforms from liquid to gas and rises up into the atmosphere, that’s evaporation. A process made possible by energy from the sun also known as solar radiation and when this water vapor in the sky reforms into liquid water droplets, that’s condensation. And when this water falls back down to the earth as rain, snow, hail, or sleet, that’s precipitation. I rise to the sky from the sea below. Then down to the ground as rain or snow. I keep it moving, moving, ’cause I’m the water cycle moving, moving, ’cause I’m the water cycle.
