Water Cycle

3. Ground water. The process by which water on the ground's surface enters the soil through cracks/openings.
6. The stage of the water cycle when water pools in large bodies.
10. A measure in the amount of water vapor in the air.
11. Precipitation. Condensed water vapor that falls back to Earth. Ex: Snow, rain, steet.
12. Water that is located below the surface of the ground.

1. A visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.
2. Transportation. Plants that absorb water through their roots and give off water vapor through their leaves.
4. Evaporation. The process of a liquid changing into a gas due to an increase in temperature or pressure.
5. vapor. Water in the form of a gas.
7. cycle. The continual movement of water among the earth atmosphere, oceans, and land surface through evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
8. Condensation. The process of a gas changing into a liquid due to a decrease in temperature or pressure.
9. Runoff. Precipitation that reaches Earth’s surface, flows over land, and reaches lakes, rivers, and oceans.
