The Importance of Water Hyperlink
Condensation H2O vapor cools -> liquid water
Condensed water cools and falls to ground Precipitation Rain Hail Snow Sleet Condensed water cools and falls to ground
Gravity caused water to move on the surface of soil. Runoff Gravity caused water to move on the surface of soil. Higher -> Lower
Surface Collection Water collected or sitting on the surface of earth.
Water sinking through deep soil Through spaces in between matter Infiltration Water sinking through deep soil Through spaces in between matter
Liquids can pass through Permeable Liquids can pass through
Water stored under the ground Groundwater Water stored under the ground
Underground collection of water providing water to a large area Aquifer Underground collection of water providing water to a large area
Transpiration: Evaporation from leaf surface
Changing of liquid water to water vapor because heat is added Evaporation Changing of liquid water to water vapor because heat is added
