🧠 Memory Aid — ETCP
Remember the four key stages of the water cycle using the phrase:
"Every Tuesday Creates Puddles"
- E — Evaporation (water → vapour, from oceans and lakes)
- T — Transpiration (water → vapour, from plant leaves)
- C — Condensation (vapour → droplets, forming clouds)
- P — Precipitation (droplets → rain/snow, falling to earth)
Then add percolation and run-off for the return journey of water to the sea.
