Hydrological Cycle Stores and Transfers

5. The horizontal movement of water within aquifers.
8. The release of water vapor from plants.
10. Water flows overland. It occurs when the ground is saturated or impermeable.
11. The deeper movement of water through soil and rocks.
12. Water held in the soil that supports plant growth.
14. Contains water vapor, which forms clouds and contributes to precipitation.
15. The movement of water from the surface into the ground.

1. Store about 2% of the total water as frozen freshwater.
2. The process where water changes from liquid to gas due to solar heating.
3. Includes lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, making up around 0.01%.
4. The transformation of water vapor into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
6. Accounts for roughly 0.7% of total water and is a significant source of freshwater for human use.
7. When vegetation catches precipitation before it reaches the ground
9. Water released from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
13. The largest store, containing approximately 97% of Earth's water.
16. Water moving through the soil towards rivers.
