In the Air
This is water in its gaseous state
What is Water Vapor?

Water from rain, melting snow, or irrigation that doesn't absorb into the ground but instead flows over the ground into streams, River, and lakes
What is runoff?
The continuously, naturally occurring movement of water above, on, and below the earth's surface
What is The Water Cycle?
This star gives the thermal energy that propels the entire water cycle.
What is the Sun?
This process cools down water vapor and turns it into a liquid.
What is Condensation?
This force pulls raindrops out of the sky towards the ground
What is Gravity?

What is fog?
This form of Precipitation is solid containing irregular pellets of ice that fall during thunderstorms
What is Hail?
This process is when water slowly moves downwards into the upper layers of soil
What is Infiltration?
These large bodies of water originate from compressed snow, and move very slowly
What are Glaciers?
This process occurs when plants absorb water through their roots and then release it as water vapor through their leaves
What is Transpiration?
This is the number of basic types of clouds
What is 10?
What is Freezing Rain?
This process is when plants absorb water, nutrients, and minerals from their environment
What is Plant Uptake?
Aside from Hydrogen and Oxygen, these two elements are the most abundant in the Earth's oceans
What are Sodium and Chlorine?
