Write a clear and detailed explanation on the water cycle

What is the water cycle?

Most of us may just think that rain just comes from the sky. But NO!!!!! 

It’s actually quite a complicated process to think about. But not to explain, the water cycle is a huge part of life that is all done behind the scenes, a lot of people didn’t even know that it existed.

The water cycle starts with a lake, puddle, river, stream, or even trees and leaves. Firstly the sun evaporates the water, turning it from a liquid to vapor into tiny little water droplets which repelled from the ground and taken in to the sky, then the droplets form clouds. Te droplets rises into the sky and reach a certain point of pressure, in which the water then stops rising, coming together, once again to form clouds. 

Another form of evaporation, which involves moisture on trees and leaves, being evaporated and extracted to form more clouds, this process is names transpiration.

Condensation is the next step in the water cycle, the step includes vapor or evaporation, it gets stuck, or trapped, half way through the process, say for instance the vapor was trapped inside, on the windows, or even when you are taking a shower, it changes back from a gas (vapor) to a liquid. Like in the shower when you get out, all of the steam that had come off of the hot water rises because it has been heated and when you turn off the shower it cools down, finds a place to rest, and turns back into a liquid.

The last step in the water cycle is precipitation, precipitation is when the vapour, which has formed the clouds, gets to heavy and eventually turns into rain. When the rain falls it falls on hills, mountains, lakes, streams. Place like that, the water runs off across the land it is called, surface run off, now that the water has run through the rivers and streams, it has ended back up into the sea and lakes, thats why they say that if you are lost you follow the river, because it will lead you to a sea. where the water cycle started started, this step is called accumulation. Accumulation is where the whole cycle starts, and it’s also where most of the evaporation comes from.

As you can see the process of rain is quite amazing. Now when it rains you will know how it happens, and what it’s been through.

Harry Crawford’s    Biography

Harry Benjamin Crawford was born on the 19th of Feburary 2001, 5:32, Hutt Hospital,  New Zealand. Harry currently lives in Days Bay, Eastbourne, Lower Hutt, and attends Muritai  School.

Harry took an interest in music at a fairly young age, 2 years of old to be in fact. The love for Harry's musical interest came from The Wiggles, a show that Harry watched when he was younger. Harry now is 11 and is apart of two local bands, one named the bum notes, which is a band made up of a collection of students in Harry's school. In this band Harry plays drums. Harry is also in another band which is the school band, in this band harry plays the bass guitar. Harry actually only recently took an interest in the bass guitar. Harry says that he loves the bass guitar because of how easy it is to play and the rhythm that it involves. Harry says that he is locally known for playing in the bum notes, and wants to pursue his career in the bum notes until he either retires or the band for some reason breaks up. Personally I think that's what makes a really good band member.

Harry says that he has a reasonable sized family which includes a mother named Hailey, a father named Gary, a brother Named Jack, and a sister named Georgia, and another sister name Lucy, and of course Harry himself. Harry describes his mum and dad as easy going and fun people, Harry's sister recently attended the Hawaii National Gymnastics competition, Harry's brother Jack is in a local band named the the smoking aces, which is where Harry's love for the band has come from.

Harry says that his interests include: rugby, swimming, mountain biking, maths, writing, science, I.C.T- all fascinating subjects if you ask me. Some of Harry's weaknesses are handwriting, spelling, art, skating and scrabble, “ I would love to get better at all of the above though”, Harry describes himself  as a partially organized, person. During my time questioning Harry I found that Harry's earliest memory is swimming in the Hawkes Bay sea. Harry's childhood highlights so far are learning to double and single water ski, getting a high distinction in maths in year 4, and going duck shooting.

Harry's ambitions in life are to own a nice house, be reasonably wealthy, have a nice wife that is smart, kind, a little bit more strict that Harry him self, and be multi-talented. Harry wants to have 2-3 kids, that's are fit, smart, and have good grades at school. Harry is also known to love dogs, he wants to own two dogs, 1 big and 1 small, Harry wants his kids to take the dogs for walks for 1 walk a day . At the age of 21 Harry wants to move to Scotland and be in a Scottish rock band and take a role as a drummer. For Harry's occupation he wants to be a lawyer, he decided this after his mum, Hailey saying that Harry's dad was an accountant and saying that it was very boring.

It is pretty obvious that Harry is a easy going person who is well educated, wants to be successful and have a nice adventurous life. Harry wants to be a good dad and husband, with a nice house and be surrounded by people that love him very much. I think that Harry Benjamin Crawford will turn out to be a really nice guy.
