Hi

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm learning about the water cycle in school. What is evaporation?
user
Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, and it turns into water vapor that rises into the air.
assistant
Does evaporation only happen over water?
user
No, evaporation can also happen on land, like when the sun heats up puddles, plants, and even the ground itself.
assistant
So, what happens to the water vapor after it rises into the air?
user
The water vapor cools down in the air and forms clouds. Eventually, it falls back to the Earth as rain or snow, starting the water cycle all over again.
