What is transpiration?

• water molecules are added to the atmosphere in the form of water vapor

• the condensation of water vapor to form clouds

• the loss of water from the leaves of plants

• water returns to Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, hail or fog

What is condensation?

• water molecules enter the atmosphere in the form of water vapor

• water vapor in the atmosphere collects to form clouds

• the loss of water from the leaves of plants

• water returns to Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, hail or fog
