Water Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
Condensation
A
water vapor (gas) gets cooled and turns into water droplets (liquids)
2
Q
Evaporation
A
gives us clean water
3
Q
Precipitation
Runoff/Infiltration: water goes back to the oceans because oceans are lower than land
(Runoff = ABOVE ground: Infiltration = BELOW ground)
Transpiration - “tree sweet” - evaporation from plants/trees
A
water droplets fall from the clouds back to Earth
