Water Vocabulary 1. Atmosphere- The envelope of gases that surrounds Earth. 2. Atmospheric Conditioning – the atmospheric conditions that comprise the state the atmosphere with temperature, wind, clouds and precipitation. 3. Water Cycle- Continual movement of water among Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land surface through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation 4. Evaporation- process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air vapor 5. Condensation- process by which molecules of water vapor in the air become liquid water 6. Precipitation- any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches the Earth’s surface 7. Transpiration- Evaporation of water through a plants leaves 8. Groundwater- Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers 9. River system- A complete river starting from the beginning (runoff) to the mouth (ocean or lake) 10.Watershed- Land area that supplies water to a river system 11.Reservoir- Lake that stores water for human use 12.Wetland- Land area that is covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year 13.Permeable- characteristic of a material that is full of tiny connected air spaces that water can seep through 14.Impermeable – characteristic of a material that does not have air spaces for water to seep through 15.Aquifer- underground layer of rock or sediment that holds water 16.Water Table- top of saturation zone or depth to the groundwater under Earth’s surface 17.Conservation- practice of using less of a resource so that it will not be used up
