The sun evaporates water from lakes and oceans. As the air rises, it

cools. The water vapor condenses into tiny droplets of water. The

droplets crowd together and form a cloud. Wind blows the cloud

towards the land. The tiny droplets join together and fall asprecipitation to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and

collects in rivers and lakes. The cycle that never ends has started

again!

Then using the words given below, label the diagram.
