The document is an incomplete passage about the water cycle that needs to be filled in with the missing terms. The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface, including the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Water can be found in three phases - liquid, gas, and solid. Evaporation turns liquid water into a gas, condensation forms clouds, and precipitation returns water to Earth as liquid or solid from the sky.

The water ____________(1) is the movement of water through different phases. The three phases that water can be found in are ____________ (2). During _____________ (3), water turns from a ___________ (4) to a _______________ (5) as it rises up in the form of steam. ______________ (6) is another form of evaporation in which the water is evaporating from plants. ______________ (7) forms clouds as the gas collects. During _______________ (8), water turns from ________________ (9) to ____________ (10) as it rains down on the ground. Solid water (snow) turns directly into a gas during ______________ (11). You could experience sublimation on top of Mt. Everest or using dry ice. The ____________ (12) evaporates __________ (13) from lakes and oceans. As the air rises, it cools. The water vapor condense into tiny droplets of ____________ (14). The droplets crowd together and form a ____________ (15). Wind blows the ___________ (16) towards the land. The tiny droplets join together and fall as precipitation to the ______________ (17). The water soaks into the ground and collects in _________________ (18). The __________ (19) that never ends has started again! Modified from: http://education.jlab.org
