hydrological cycle

?
the change from liquid to gas as vapour changes into water droplets
condensation
1 of 15
the change of state from liquid to a solid as temperatures fall below 0degrees
freezing
2 of 15
the change of state from water to a gas due to the availability of heat energy
evaporation
3 of 15
it is the combination of evaporation and transpiration
evapotranspiration
4 of 15
water moving underground through pores, joints, and underground streams and rivers
groundwater flow
5 of 15
the change of water from a solid to a liquid when temperatures rise above 0degrees
melting
6 of 15
the movement of water from the ground surface into the soil
infiltration
7 of 15
when vegetation prevents water from reaching the ground surface directly
interception
8 of 15
the transfer of water from the surface or soil into the bedrock beneath
percolation
9 of 15
the movement of water in any form (rain, snow, hail, frost, and dew) from the atmosphere to the ground
precipitation
10 of 15
happens on ice sheets and glaciers when water cahnges directly from solid to gas or gas to solid
sublimation
11 of 15
the diffusion of water from vegetation via stomata into the atmosphere involving a change from liquid to a gas
transpiration
12 of 15
the movement of water unconfined by a channel accross the surface of the ground
surface runoff
13 of 15
the upper level of saturated rock and soil
water table
14 of 15
