Final Answer:
The water cycle has four main parts: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
- The sun heats water from oceans, lakes, and rivers → this is
evaporation (water turns to vapor).
- Water vapor rises, cools, and forms clouds → this is
condensation.
- When clouds get heavy, water falls as rain or snow → this is
precipitation.
- Water flows back into rivers, lakes, and oceans → this is
collection (or runoff/groundwater).
Label the diagram using these words in order:
1. Sun → evaporation
2. Clouds forming → condensation
3. Rain falling → precipitation
4. Water flowing downhill → collection/runoff
(If you’re filling boxes: top box = evaporation, middle cloud = condensation, rain = precipitation, bottom arrow = collection)
