lesson 3 water cycle Flashcards
accumulation
The process in witch water pools in large bodies ( like oceans seas lakes)
Condensation
water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
evaperation
the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
percipitation
he action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
subsurface runoff
Rain snow melt or other water that flows in surface streams
surface runoff
is the flow of water that occurs when excess stormwater, melt water, or other sources flows over the Earth’s surface. .
Transpiration
is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
Water cycle
he cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
Sublimation
When the surface layer of snow or ice turns into fog or steam without melting
Depostion
process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil.
