The Adventure of Drop

Then I traveled really far into the sky! Up, really high, the water vapor met cold air. The water vapor turns back to water or turns into ice crystals. 

Let's go on an adventure! I will tell you about how I was made!

This is where it starts! Evaporation is where the sun heats up the water. The water becomes a gas called water vapor. I started as water vapor! That's really cool!

They would love to check out other types of cycles! A cycle makes the world go around, right?

These were the processes that helped me become, Drop! I hope you enjoyed our adventure together!

Precipitation is also hail and sleet. Hail is raindrops that are frozen in the air that become hard ice balls. Sleet starts frozen then turns to then a liquid and  falls. While the air is freezing, the raindrops become small balls of ice.

After the precipitation falls, the water cycle starts all over again. 

Precipitation comes down in different forms. When the clouds get warmed up, the rain falls as liquid, like me. When the air is freezing, snow is formed. Snowflakes fall as small frozen ice crystals. 

Clouds are formed by condensation. Cumulus clouds are low to the ground and full of water! I came from those clouds! The cirrus clouds are super high in the sky made from ice crystals.

This is where I got my name! I started to drop! Precipitation is a process where water or ice falls when it gets too heavy to stay in the clouds. I fell from the clouds and became Drop!
