EVAPORATION
This is the process where water turns from a liquid into a gas.
What is evaporation?
This is the process where water vapor cools and turns back into liquid.
What is condensation?
This is any form of water that falls from the sky to the ground.
What is precipitation?
This is where water collects after precipitation, such as rivers and lakes.
What are bodies of water?
This percentage of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.
What is 71%?
This is the primary source of energy that drives evaporation.
What is the sun?
These are tiny droplets of water that form on a cold glass of water.
What is condensation or dew?
This type of precipitation falls as ice crystals.
What is snow?
This is the term for water soaking into the ground.
What is infiltration?
This is the largest reservoir of water on Earth.
What is the ocean?
This body of water evaporates faster than a puddle because it’s larger.
What is an ocean?
This is where clouds form in the atmosphere.
What is the troposphere?
This is the term for rain that freezes before it hits the ground.
What is sleet?
This is where groundwater is stored underground.
What is an aquifer?
This is the term for the continuous movement of water on Earth.
What is the water cycle?
This is the term for water vapor rising into the atmosphere.
What is water vapor or gas?
This is the term for when water vapor condenses on surfaces like grass.
What is dew?
This type of precipitation forms when water droplets freeze around ice.
What is hail?
This is the process where plants absorb water and release it into the air.
What is transpiration?
This is the amount of water on Earth that is freshwater (not salty).
What is about 3%?
This is what happens to water molecules when they gain heat energy.
What is they move faster and turn into gas?
This is the temperature at which water vapor turns into liquid.
What is the dew point?
This is the process that causes water droplets to grow heavy and fall.
What is coalescence?
This is the term for water flowing over the surface into rivers and lakes.
What is runoff?
This is the process where water changes from a gas to a liquid or solid.
What is deposition?
