PRECIPITATION<br />

CONDENSATION<br />

“When these droplets get too<br />

heavy for the air to hold them,<br />

they fall back to earth as<br />

precipitation – rain, snow,<br />

hail or sleet – which is<br />

necessary for the survival<br />

of plants and animals.<br />

The water cycle and<br />

the ocean currents and<br />

winds play a big part<br />

in controlling our weather<br />

patterns and air temperatures.<br />

“As well, more than half of Earth’s oxygen – oxygen that we need<br />

to breathe and live – is produced by phytoplankton, tiny plant-like<br />

creatures that live in the oceans. The oceans are our life support<br />

system and all life on Earth needs healthy oceans.”
