Water Cycle Cards Flashcards
Water Cycle (20 cards)
Precipitation
when water is released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow or hail.
condensation
the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water.This process usually forms clouds, fog, or dew.
Evaporation
The process by which water changes form a liquid to a gas due to thermal energy , usually forms the clouds.
water cycle
The cycle in which all water goes through before getting to us.
evaporation
The process of liquid water transforming into gas.
condenses
Transforms from gaseous water into liquid water.
infiltration
water seeping into soil
states of Matter
solid liquid gas
Thermal energy
The key factor that allows water to transform from one state to another
runoff
a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid.
