Match the state of matter with the correct name of the water.

Water Vapor ​ ​ (b)  

Ice ​ (c)  

• liquid
• Gas
• Solid

Match the following

• Evaporation

• the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock. Ground water begins as precipitation. Once water infiltrates the soil it can move vertically and horizontally through the soil.

• Precipitation

• the opposite of evaporation; it occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into liquid form.

• Groundwater storage

• is the water that exists for long periods below the Earth’s surface.

• Infiltration

• occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air.

• Condensation

• condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and mist. Only 10% of water evaporated falls as precipitation.
