100
water changes to water vapor (a gas) from energy from the sun and rises into the air around us.
What is EVAPORATION
100
as water vapor rises, it begins to cool until it reaches its dew point. Liquid water forms around dust particles and begins to form clouds.
What is CONDENSATION
100
permeable areas that are filled with water.
What is SATURATED ZONE
100
materials that do not allow water and air to easily pass through.
What is IMPERMEABLE
200
solid forms of water change from a solid state of matter to a gas (water vapor) due to energy from the sun and begins to rise into the atmosphere.
What is SUBLIMATION
200
As water vapor rises, it can cool quickly, forming ice crystals. As ice crystals accumulate, a cloud forms.
What is DEPOSITION
200
After precipitation, water is found in many different areas on the surface or underground.
What is COLLECTION
200
As clouds accumulate more mass, gravity causes the water droplets or ice crystals to fall as rain, snow, sleet or hail.
What is PRECIPITATION
300
the amount of water vapor in the air.
What is HUMIDITY
300
Water droplets form around these.
What is DUST PARTICLES
300
permeable areas that are not filled with water.
What is UNSATURATED ZONE
300
the boundary between the saturated and unsaturated zone.
What is WATER TABLE
400
evaporation from plants and soil.
What is TRANSPIRATION
400
the temperature where water vapor turns back into liquid water.
What is DEW POINT
400
materials that allow water and air to easily pass through.
What is PERMEABLE
400
The continuous cycle of water in different forms from the surface and underground to the atmosphere.
