Q
The movement of water in any form from the atmosphere to the ground
A
precipitation
20
Q
The change in state of water from a liquid to a gas.
A
evaporation
21
Q
The average time a water molecule will spend in a reservoir or store.
A
22
Q
The diffusion of water from vegetation into the atmosphere
A
23
Q
involving a change from a liquid to a gas.
A
24
Q
The slow transfer of percolated water underground through pervious
A
25
or porous rocks.
26
The change from a gas to a liquid
such as when water vapour
27
changes into water droplets.
28
The lateral transfer of water down slope through the soil.
29
The transfer of water from the surface into the bedrock beneath.
30
The combined effect of evaporation and transpiration.
evapotranspiration
31
The flow of water in rivers or streams.
32
The storage of water in rivers or streams.
33
A permeable or porous rock which stores water.
aquifer
34
Water flowing over the surface of the ground after precipitation
35
snowmelt or throughflow reaching the surface.
36
The process by which raindrops are prevented from falling directly
37
onto the ground by the leaves
branches and twigs of vegetation.
38
The amount of water transferred and stored in the Earth's
39
hydrological cycle each year
including fluxes (water flows) and the
40
volume of the water stores (oceans
atmosphere
41
cryopshere
groundwater and surface water).
42
The movement of water vertically downwards through the spaces
43
(pores) in the soil.
44
Stocks of water
places where the water is held. For example
45
oceans.
46
The measurement of the rate of flow between the stores.
47
Water stored in lakes
rivers
48
(the visible part of the hydrological cycle).
49
Water stored in the soil and vegetation (the invisible part of the
50
hydrological cycle).
