Hydrological Cycle (Water Cycle)

transpiration

Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant gives of purified water to be evaporated

infiltration (seepage)

Flow of water from the land surface into the subsurface; rain water soaks into the ground soil and can get into the groundwater

condensation

Gas to Liquid; gas gets colder and changes back to liquid , forming clouds

surface runoff

Part of the water cycle where an excess of water runs down and does not sink into the soil and eventually makes it to the rivers, lakes, and oceans.

evaporation

The change of a liquid to a gas; the sun heats energy up and turns water into vapor(gas)

hydrological cycle (water cycle)

The cycle through which water in the hydrosphere moves; includes such processes as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and surface and groundwater runoff and infiltration

atmosphere

The gaseous layer surrounding the earth; the air.

ground water

Underground water that is held in the soil and in permeable rocks

water table

underground surface below which the ground is wholly saturated with water

Precipitation

Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface like hail, snow, sleet, rain;clouds get heavy and the air cannot hold it anymore
