1. Evaporation
Process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, heat energy necessary, molecules excited

2. Sublimation
Process by which solid changes to a gas without becoming a liquid first. Example: Dry Ice

3. Transpiration
Water is absorbed by plants and tree and then evaporates into the atmosphere through their leaves

4. Process by which water vapor (gas) is changed into a liquid
Condensation
Process by which water vapor (gas) is changed into a liquid
Ex. Clouds, Fog

5. Water released from clouds in the form of rain, sleet, snow, and hail
Precipitation
Water released from clouds in the form of rain, sleet, snow, and hail

6. Runoff
Precipitation that doesn’t get absorbed into the soil or evaporate. Collects in rivers, lakes, ponds, and ocean

7. Infiltration
The downward process of moving water from the land surface into soil or porous rock
