  1. 3. the process by which water infiltrates through soil and porous rock layers, eventually replenishing groundwater supplies.
  2. 4. occurs when condensed water droplets in clouds become heavy enough to fall to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
  3. 5. the process where water from oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water is heated by the sun and changes from a liquid to a gas, rising into the atmosphere as water vapor.

  1. 1. the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through the plant, and is released as water vapor from small openings in leaves called stomata.
  2. 2. the process by which water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
  3. 6. the movement of water, typically from precipitation, that flows over the surface of the land and into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
