These water molecules form into clouds. When the air and the water cool, they become water drops that fall to the earth as rain. If the drops are frozen, they are snow, hail or sleet. This is condensation. The moisture was changed into liquid. Once the water reaches the ground, it runs off the land until it reaches water sources. This is surface water. It can also sink into the ground and flow with gravity through gaps in the ground until it reaches these bodies of water, too.(Infiltration) After that, it all happens again. These were all pictures of water cycle stages.
