Water Cycle
Evaporation
Evaporation is caused when the sun heats up a body of water. When the water is heated up it turns into water apor the rises up to form a cloud.
Condensation
Precipitation
Rain
When rain falls down it starts out as snow crystls then as it falls the teameture between the clouds and the ground is warm enough to melt the crystals and turn it into rain.
Snow
When the temeture between the clouds and the ground is 0 degrees C. the crytles will fall as snow.
Sleet
When the crystals fall they melt then as they fall even farther they start to freeze then turn into sleet. sleet is diffrent hail
Hail
When wind bolws upward into a cloud it blows the rain into the freezing air at the top of the cloud wich makes a small peice of ice. When the ice is blown through the cloud many times layers and layers of ice freeze on it, when it gets to heavey for the wind to blow it back up the hailstone fall to the ground.
Freezeing Rain
Freezing rain is formed when the ice crytals melt then when a layer of air thats colder then 0 degrees C. and this layer makes the tree branche ,the ground and other objects cold so when the rain lands it freezes.
My opinion
in my opinion i htink that hail makes the most damge. To be in the middle of a hail storm would be an expincive recovery for belongings. But thats still just my opinion.

Water cycle song
Having a hard time memorizing the steps of the water cycle? Well heres a song.
(to the beat of ,"She's coming around the mountin")
Water travels in a cycle yes it dose x2
it goes up as Evaporation
forms a cloud of condensation
then comes down as percipation
the runs off
