| The water cycle can begin | anywhere! |
| Water vapor falls from the atmosphere as | precipitation. |
| Precipitation enters the soil through | infiltration. |
| Water moves through the soil as | percolation. |
| Percolation gathers in | oceans, streams, or lakes. |
| Water in oceans, streams, or lakes changes to water vapor through | evaporation. |
| Evaporation gathers in the atmosphere as | Condensation |
| Some precipitation is absorbed by | plants |
| Plants lose water through their leaves by | transpiration. |
| Water from transpiration can gather in the atmosphere as | condensation. |
| Percolation can flow over the surface as | runoff. |
| Runoff gathers in | oceans, streams, or lakes. |
