The Water Cycle

2. Vapor Water in a gaseous state.
6. is the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock.
8. occurs when the sun heats up water and it becomes vapor.
9. Runoff is when precipitation travels over the soil surface to the nearest stream channel.
10. To use a material more than once.
12. is an example of a groundwater discharge. It is usually formed when the side of a hill, a valley bottom, or other excavation intersects at or below the local water table, below which the substrate is saturated.
15. it occurs when the vapor turns directly
17. solid ice or snow
19. Storage includes wetlands, lakes, ponds, and large rivers that hold freshwater.

1. Discharge the movement of water out of the ground.
3. is condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
4. the layer of air that surrounds the earth.
5. occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into the cloud
7. store most of the Earth’s water; Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is ocean.
11. a mass of tiny droplets of water that condensed from the air.
13. Uptake is how much water the plant absorbs and uses.
14. runoff is when snow and ice melt into surface water and moves
16. solid water that turns into vapor.
18. the soil surface into streams.
20. flow is the movement of water in a natural channel such as a river. The amount of water flowing in the stream is affected by the watershed’s surface runoff, springs, and groundwater discharge.
