Puddle
I took this picture on Thursday the 26th after the rainfall at the beginning of last week. The puddle was outside of the track on campus here at UNCW. Some rain from a rainfall filtrates into the soil, falls on concrete, or falls directly into the water. The rain water that falls on the concrete and forms a puddle will evaporate rather quickly after the precipitation stops falling. The water will evaporate (the rate of evaporation depends on the external conditions) then condense in the atmosphere and precipitate in some form to result in a collection. The water cycle is the recycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. This puddle is just one step in the water cycle (the collection phase).
