How would you explain the water cycle to a fifth grader

water goes round and around its constantly reused

watch frozen two olaf will explain it lolololol

Explanation:

There are four mains stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let’s look at each of these stages.

Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapor (gas). Water vapor droplets join together to make clouds.

Condensation: This is when water vapor in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.

Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Collection: This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.

The water cycle is powered by the sun’s energy and gravity. The sun kick starts the whole cycle by heating all the Earth’s water and making it evaporate. Gravity makes the moisture fall back to the earth.

*I have included a picture to better understand (from a visual standpoint) how it works*

Hope this helps :)

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
