When the drops of water become too heavy to stay in the cloud, they fall to the Earth as precipitation . Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all forms of precipitation. The form of precipitation that falls depends on the temperature of the air. Water from precipitation flows across the surface of the land into lakes, streams, and oceans. Some of the water enters the ground.
Plants absorb water from the ground through their roots.
The water eventually evaporates. And so the water cycle continues. All rights reserved.
