The process of becoming a VAPOR; the changing of liquid into gas

• Collection

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

Happens when water molecules in the air slow down (Cooldown) enough to join together to form liquid water

• Collection

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Transpiration

When too much water has condensed, the WATER DROPLETS in the clouds become too BIG and HEAVY for the air to hold them

• Collection

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

The process in which PLANTS release the water inside it in the form of moisture or water vapor

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

The fallen precipitation is then “collected” in bodies of water, like rivers, lakes, and oceans

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Precipitation that falls into rivers & streams; occurs when there is more water than land can absorb

• Runoff (Surface Runoff)

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation
