This is the day to day change in temperature, precipitation, wind and air pressure 

• climate
• weather

• evaporation
• condensation 

This is the long term patterns over a period of time in an area

• weather
• climate 
• atmosphere 
• wind 

What is transpiration???

• the process by which plants give off moisture into the atmosphere
• the force of gravity pulling mass towards the center of the earth
• Liquid to gas
• The transfer of heat in a gas or liquid ,warmer material rises and cooler falls causing an cycle

What happens when you leave an bottle of water out in the sun???

• Evaporation happens
• Precipitation happens
• Transpiration happens
• Condensation happens

What follows evaporation during the water cycle? How does this occur?

• Water evaporates into water vapor
• Water vapor condenses and forms a  cloud
• Water precipitates to the ground
• Water runs down into the hydrosphere

Does evaporation happen before or after condensation?

• before
• after
• during

Which best explains why runoff is important?

• It returns water to other locations on Earth
• It increases the chance of flooding
• It makes evaporation occur faster
• It increases condensation
