Hi! My name is Delilah! I'm going to tell you the cycle of my life. :)

First, I start off as a tiny dewdrop on a flower. I form from the condensation of water vapor during the night. I transform from a gas into a liquid.

As the day progresses, unfortunately, I have to leave my comfy place on the flower and evaporate into the atmosphere. This can also be called transpiration. I proceed to change back into a gas.

After I spend a little bit of time in the atmosphere, my process of condensation begins within the clouds.

Occasionally, I get tired of hanging out in the clouds and proceed to precipitate. This is where I can have some fun because I can come out in different ways.

If I'm feeling a little tired, I like to take my time to turn into a solid and enjoy the ride in the snow.

Or I like to have fun and have a slippery ride in the rain.

Sometimes, I get really excited and want to have a crazy ride in the hail.

I like to travel, so I can go into rivers and streams, waterfalls, or hang out and fall into lakes, but I mainly land on the ground. When I land, certain parts of me want to be somewhere else, this action I take is known as runoff.

No matter where I go, I always end up back in the ocean! Then the cycle begins again!
