NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Precipitation that does not absorb into the soil nor does it evaporate.

• water cycle

• evaporation

• runoff

• ground water

When a soil change directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid.

• sublimation

• precipitation

• aquifer

• watershed

When water is released from douds as rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow or hail.

• infiltration

• precipitation

• transpiration

• evaporation
