The energy of the moving molecules
What is Thermal Energy
State of matter where particles are moving freely at a medium speed in a close fluid group.
What is Liquid
The form in which matter exists
What is the State of matter
The acting that move water either up into the atmosphere or back down to/into the earth.
What is the water process
State of matter where particles more slowly, vibrating in place, and are close in fixed positions.
What is Solid
State of matter where particles move freely at a fast speed and are spread far apart.
What is Gas
How close together or far apart atoms/molecules are from each other.
What is Relative spacing
A single particle of a substance made from two or more atoms.
What is a Molecule
The process where water gains energy from the sun and changes from liquid to gas.
What is Evaporation
The process of liquid water flowing from underground through a plant and out into the air as a gas.
What is Transpiration
a COLLECTION of objects that interact and influence one another. These objects often work together to solve or answer a problem.

What is System Outputs
The separation between a system and its environment that inputs and outputs must cross. Shows what is included and what is not.
What is the System Boundary
A place where a material is stored for a period of time.
What is Reservoir
Water continuously moving between reservoirs due to the suns energy and the force of gravity.
What is a Water system
Water located on the surface of the earth such as Lakes and streams.
What is Surface water
Water held underground in the soil or in the pores and crevices in rock.
What is Groundwater
Water that falls to the ground in the form of rain, snow, sleet, etc.
What is precipitation
The process by which water moves into the soil from the ground surface.
What is infiltration
Water that drains over the earth after falling as precipitation.
What is Runoff
The movement of ground water which accrues very slowly
What is Groundwater Movement
The force that pulls things towards earth
What is Gravity
