Plants contribute to the water cycle through this process?
transpiration
Where is most of the water on Earth stored
Oceans
State of matter when water is frozen.
a solid.
Where does water vapor in the atmosphere come from?
evaporation from lakes, rivers, and oceans.
This percentage of water is fresh water on Earth..
3%
Water in the form of gas
water vapor
This occurs when a gas is directly converted into a solid?
deposition
This is the mechanism through which water travels down through the ground powered by the acceleration due to gravity.
percolation.

respiration
this is water that moves under the Earth's surface?
groundwater
What is it called when water travels through oceans, the atmosphere and land over and over again.
the water cycle.
What is it called when water moves from the atmosphere to the earth?
precipitation.
Name four forms of precipitation.
rain, hail, sleet, and snow.
The basis of separation using decantation is
Difference in particle size
This is is the process water filtering through the soil to reach groundwater below
Infiltration
Why is filtration method more advantageous compared to decantation
It is able to remove tinier particles from the solvent
What is it called when rain get so cold it solidifies into small ice balls?
Hail
Evaporation and crystallization is used to separate what type of solution
solid and liquid
Explain the formation of crystals as solution cools
This is because the solubilty of salt decrease as temperature decreases
Butter is separated from milk by
