Mountain Rain to Sea

Rain falls on a high mountain and runs down as a stream. The stream becomes a river, reaches the sea, and water rises into clouds.

In the picture

  1. Rain cloud above the mountain: water falls as rain.
  2. Stream on the rock: water flows downhill.
  3. River by the houses: water moves across the land.
  4. Vapour above the sea: water rises into the air.

Examples

  • Rain running off a roof into a drain.
  • A puddle drying in the sun.
