Water in it's solid state
What is ICE?
This occurs when heat is added to liquid water.
What is EVAPORATION?
Precipitation that flows downhill on Earth's surface toward rivers and oceans.
What is RUNOFF?
Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are examples of this.
What is PRECIPITATION?
Water in its gas form.
What is WATER VAPOR?
Process where gas cools down and changes into a liquid.
What is CONDENSATION?
Rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the ocean.
What is RUNOFF?
Process where precipitation gathers in lakes, oceans, rivers, and streams.
What is COLLECTION?
What are CLOUDS?
This is the temperature that liquid water hits its freezing point to become ice.
What is 32 DEGREES?
Falls when the temperature in a cloud is below freezing and water vapor forms ice crystals called snowflakes.
What is SNOW?
The most common form of precipitation occurs when drops of water fall through air that is above freezing.
What is RAIN?
This provides heat energy needed for water to evaporate from lakes, oceans, and rivers.
What is THE SUN?
Forms when drops of rain freeze and strong winds carry them higher into a cloud.
What is HAIL?
Rain that freezes as it falls through freezing air to Earth
What is SLEET?
The changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates down to Earth.
What is the WATER CYCLE?
There are 3 states of water. What are they?
Liquid, Ice, Water Vapor
The passage of water vapor from a plant to the atmosphere.
What is TRANSPIRATION?
Why does precipitation fall from clouds back down to Earth's surface?
The water droplets in the clouds get too heavy.
Water turns into gas form when heat is added to liquid at this temperature.
What is 212 DEGREES?
What is Run-off?
Rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the ocean.
What is Transpiration?
The passage of water vapor from a plant to the atmosphere.
What is Evaporation
The process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas caused by heat.
What is condensation?
The cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid.
What is PRECIPITATION?
Water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
