Water on the Move

Water moves between the sea, the sky, the land, and back again. It can be liquid, solid, or gas as it changes places.

In the picture

  1. Wavy lines above the sea: water rising into the air as vapour
  2. Cloud over the mountains: tiny water droplets gathering in cold air
  3. Rain and snow falling on the slopes: water returning to the land
  4. River: water flowing back toward the sea

Examples

  • A puddle drying in the sun
  • Steam rising from a hot drink
