  1. 1. The transformation of water vapor into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
  2. 2. The process where water changes from liquid to gas due to solar heating.
  3. 3. The movement of water from the surface into the ground.
  4. 5. Contains water vapor, which forms clouds and contributes to precipitation.
  5. 8. Store about 2% of the total water as frozen freshwater.
  6. 9. Moisture: Water held in the soil that supports plant growth.
  7. 10. When vegetation catches precipitation before it reaches the ground
  8. 12. Runoff: Water flows overland. It occurs when the ground is saturated or impermeable.
  9. 13. Flow: The horizontal movement of water within aquifers.
