Front

What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes in the water cycle?

Back

Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

What is downwelling?

Back

Downwelling moves water from the surface to greater depths, carrying oxygen down from the surface.

Front

What is permeability?

Back

The ability for water to flow through a rock.

Front

What is the water table?

Back

The upper surface of underground water; the upper boundary of the zone of saturation.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold and turns back into a liquid, forming clouds.

Front

What is surface water?

Back

Water that collects on the surface of the ground, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Front

What is groundwater?

Back

Water that is found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock.
