  1. 6. The sun heats water from the oceans and it turns into water vapour. This invisible vapour rises into the atmosphere where it is colder
  2. 7. This term includes all water turned into water vapour through transpiration and evaporation together.
  3. 8. Water that infiltrates into the earth’s surface fills up the groundwater stores.
  4. 9. the water droplets in clouds join together and cool further until they fall to earth as either rain, snow or hail.
  5. 10. The water vapour cools and turns back into tiny water droplets. These water droplets form clouds

  1. 1. Water stored underground in aquifers. Some of this water goes very deep and stays there for a long time.
  2. 2. uptake Plants take up water from the ground and use it for photosynthesis. Some of this water is lost through the leaves due to the heat from the sun.
  3. 3. Some rainfall soaks into the ground. When the soil is waterlogged, any extra rainfall will runoff into surface storage areas
  4. 4. Groundwater close to the surface is taken up by plants.
  5. 5. Some groundwater moves to the surface of the land forming a lake, creek or river
