DWater goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle (循环). The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapor. Plants also give off lots of water vapor (水蒸气). Some of this water vapor cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this ground water, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The ground water is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers (层) below Earths surface.Ground water moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometers in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once ground water is pumped out of the ground from a deep well (井) by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.48. In which order does water go around Earth ? a.
