The Water Cycle

The process by which water vapor becomes a liquid

• Infiltration

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

• Condensation

Answer explanation

Even though it is still floating in the air vaopr has liquidized into tiny droplets

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

The process that occurs when any and all forms of water particles fall from the atmosphere and reach the ground.

The movement of water though the soil, and it's layers, by gravity and capillary forces. The prime moving force of groundwater is gravity.

• percolation

• condensation

• streamflow

• pollution

Flow from a drainage basin or watershed that appears in surface streams.

• non-point source pollution

• precipitation

• run-off

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

The cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's

oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow,

drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation

and transpiration.

• Earth's systems

The water found in lakes, rivers,

and underground deposits,

possessing little salt in contrast to the salt water of oceans and seas.

• Fresh water

• Ice water

• Salt water

• Ocean water
