Yes, the water cycle is essential for human and plant life on earth. Without the water cycle there would be no rain, no rivers, no water to drink or to irrigate crops. Life would be very different.

When a puddle seems to have 'dried up' it has actually avaporated back into the air in the form of a cloud. This is part of the water cycle and when water has evaporated and condensed into a cloud, it is ready to come back to Earth in the form of rain. So it is one big cycle!

Describe what happens in each part of the water cycle?

Evaporation: Water in big bodies (rivers, lakes, the ocean) and transpiration (water from plants) enters the air as gas when it is heated. Condensation: The gas comes together in the air to form a cloud. Precipitation: The cloud becomes colder and the water vapor becomes liquid. The liquid falls to the earth's surface (rain). Runoff: The water on the ground goes to big bodies of water and evaporates again.
