  Precipitaion comes in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail falling from the sky.

- 
  
  The water then runs off the elevated regions and pools togeather in the low areas.
- 
  
  Water that pools in the low areas and in ditches Is called ground water.
- 
  
  When water on the ground turns to gas and rises it Is called evaporation.
- 
  
  When liquid is evaporated from trees or leaves instead of the ground it is called transpiration.
- 
  
  When water "gas" cools down from the evaporation process then condensation occurs creating liquid from gas.
- 
  
  After the gas is turned into liquid through condensation the water cycle starts over with precipitation.
