  4. 5. A visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere
  5. 7. Precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the Earth's surface toward streams.
  6. 8. fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces (pores) between rocks and particles of soil.
