My Journey Through The Water Cycle

Hi everyone! My name is Drips and my journey began in the vast, murky waters of the Atlantic Ocean. I was one of the innumerable water molecules out there!

I stayed in the ocean for a while, but then one day, I suddenly evaporated into the clouds because of heat energy.

I didn’t remain in the clouds for too long though. Soon enough I condensed and was pulled down by gravity ,and was run off for a brief moment because I fell onto land. Then I fell onto the soil.

Soon later, I was absorbed into the plant roots. Immediately after I left the plant, I was taken back into the clouds through a process called transpiration.

Next, I condensed once again, but this time fell into Lake Ontario.

After staying in Lake Ontario for a short time, I was flown into the Saint Lawrence River.

While I was in the river, I spotted some birds drinking water. The next thing I knew, I was inside ones body!

Thankfully, I was respired out of the birds body and was evaporated back again to the clouds. What a relief! I didn’t want to last longer in its body! As gravity pulled me down from up so high in the sky, I condensed and precipitated as snow. I was now in the glaciers!

Brr! I lasted in this destination for quite a while! I was as cold as ice, literally! After what had felt like a eternity, I finally melted and was filtered back into a river. From there, I was pulled by gravity and transformed to ground water.

The groundwater sure was an interesting destination! Eventually, I was filtered yet again into the lake and ended up back where I started, the ocean!

Wow! What a journey it was going to different destinations around the world! I definitely enjoyed this experience and I hope that you all have a better understanding of the water cycle. Although my trip was not necessarily how water may travel through the cycle, it gives a brief glance at what it might be like. Thank you all for being a part of this adventure. “Sea you again soon!”
