how does the water cycle work?
When the heat energy from the sun gets put into the water, the water evaporates. The evaporated molicules rise to the atmosphere. When these molicules start to loose the energy they condinses and forms clouds. When the condinsed molicules become to heavy they fall.(presipitation) Then the molicules begin to collect in a lake, pond, or ocean. Unless it seeps into aquafers or underground water tables. Untill the water gets heated again and the cycle starts over.

Water can return back to the earth in different forms. Some water returns by little droplets. These normally appear with light sprinkles to thunderstorms. Another way is snow or hail. This is when it gets cold. The water freezes before it falls and forms ice.
If pollution collects in these objects of rain, another state can fall, this is called acid precipitation. Acid precipitation is a damaging flow of water that can harm animals, water that has already been on the ground, and more importantly our rocks and minerals.Once too much acid precipitation falls it renders the water undrinkable, thus polluting any type of water near a factory/mill that runs off of fossil fuels.
