Interactive water cycle diagram worksheet for students to label and learn the stages of the water cycle.

Let me work through this water cycle diagram step by step.

Looking at the diagram, I need to match each blank box with the correct term from the word bank at the bottom: evaporation, accumulation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, transpiration.

Let me trace through the water cycle:

1. Starting at the bottom right: There are arrows pointing UP from the ocean/water body toward clouds. This represents water turning into vapor and rising - that's evaporation.

2. Moving clockwise: The next box on the right side (middle height) has arrows pointing UP from trees/plants. Plants releasing water vapor is called transpiration.

3. At the top right: Clouds are shown. When water vapor cools and forms clouds, that's condensation. So the box near the clouds should be condensation.

4. Top middle/left: There's an arrow pointing from clouds to a box, then arrows pointing DOWN from clouds showing rain/snow falling. Water falling from clouds as rain, snow, etc. is precipitation.

5. Middle left: After precipitation falls on the mountain/land, there's a box here. Water collecting in lakes, oceans, glaciers, or underground is accumulation.

6. Bottom middle/right: There's an arrow showing water flowing down the mountain slope toward the ocean. Water flowing over land surfaces into rivers and eventually oceans is surface runoff.

Let me verify by checking the positions again:
- Bottom right box with upward arrows from water → evaporation
- Right middle box with upward arrows from plants → transpiration
- Top right box near clouds → condensation
- Top left box receiving arrow from clouds → precipitation
- Left middle box on the mountain → accumulation
- Bottom middle box with arrow flowing downhill → surface runoff

Final Answer:
Working from left to right, top to bottom:
- Top left box (receiving from clouds): precipitation
- Left middle box (on mountain): accumulation
- Bottom middle box (water flowing downhill): surface runoff
- Bottom right box (arrows up from water): evaporation
- Right middle box (arrows up from plants): transpiration
- Top right box (near clouds): condensation
