Taroko , Taiwan by cattan2011 on Flickr	Water continues to evaporate in the cool air, forming clouds. The clouds are formed by evaporated water vapors (gas) that condense and eventually lead to precipitation.   Slide Options : Move UP,   DOWN,   DELETE,   Insert BLANK Slide
Poor visibility due to water flowing down the car's windshield. Driving in heavy rain by Ivan Radic on Flickr	When the clouds meet cool air over land, PRECIPITATION (rain, sleet, or snow) is triggered, and water returns to the land (or sea). Some of the precipitation soaks into the ground. Slide Options : Move UP,   DOWN,   DELETE,   Insert BLANK Slide
Wet Village, Uganda by Rod Waddington on Flickr	Some of the precipitation soaks into the ground.  Some of the underground water is trapped between rocks or clay layers; this is called groundwater.  Most of the water flows downhill as RUNOFF (above ground or underground), eventually returning to the seas as slightly salty water.  Slide Options : Move UP,   DOWN,   DELETE,   Insert BLANK Slide
