Step of the water cycle where energy from the Sun changes water from the liquid state to the gas state.

• condensation

• transpiration

• evaporation

• precipitation

Step of the water cycle where water has condensed enough in the sky to form drops or ice crystals that fall from the sky, sometimes reaching the ground in the form of rain, sleet or snow.

Step of the water cycle where water vapor escapes directly from the leaves of plants back into the sky to be condensed back into clouds.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Step of the water cycle where liquid water cannot infiltrate due to hardness of the ground, so it moves across the ground to the lowest place.

• runoff

• infiltration

• groundwater

• condensation

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Step of the water cycle where the ground is soft and porous allowing the water to seep in to the ground.

• runoff

• infiltration

• groundwater

• condensation

Step of the water cycle where the water that infiltrates the soft or porous ground is stored underground.
