Water Cycle
water cycle
the process by which water moves from the earth into the air and back to the earth again
precipitation
all forms of water that fall from the sky to the Earth such as rain, snow, sleet, and hail
condensation
the gathering of water vapor in the air that turns into liquid water (clouds) (gas to liquid)
evaporation
the process by which water vapor rises into the air (liquid to gas)
transpiration
water that goes into the air directly from the leaves of plants and trees
water runoff
water on the ground searching for sea level traveling by streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls
ground water
water the Earth's surface that has seeped under ground
water vapor
water in the gas state that has evaporated into the air
clouds
a visible mass of water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground
solar radiation
radiant energy emitted by the sun; heating surface water causing evaporation
