Describe how the water cycle moves water between the tree, the lake, and the sky in the picture below. Describe at least three of the water cycle processes you have learned about in the course. (10 points)

The heat from the sun warms the water in the lake which evaporates and turns into water vapours. The water in the tree also rises into the atmosphere through a process, transpiration.

The water vapours rise into the atmosphere and forms clouds.

The water vapours in the clouds than condense into liquid water. Soon they'll get heavy and the water will fall down as rain, sleet, or snow.

Some of the rainwater sinks into the ground and is taken in by the roots of trees and plants.  

This process keeps going on and on, and the water keeps shifting between the lake, tree and the sky.
