run-off

Definition: rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the oceans. Example: Run-off is when water is carried off from mountains or hills to lakes, rivers, and oceans.

run-off

Definition: rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the oceans. Example: Runoff is water that has not been absorbed and travels by streams and rivers to lakes and rivers.

run-off

Definition: rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the oceans. Example: The soil that did not absord the water so it travels to a river

run-off

Definition: rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the oceans. Example: Water runs down a mountain.

humidity

Definition: the amount of water vapor in the air Example: It makes the air feel warmer and maybe the slightest bit heavier.

humidity

Definition: the amount of water vapor in the air Example: The amount of water in the air ( When the air feels sticky outside)

humidity

Definition: the amount of water vapor in the air Example: Water vapor

condensation

Definition: the cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid Example: It is when gas changes to liquid and forms clouds. :)

condensation

Definition: the cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid Example: the cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid

condensation

Definition: the cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid Example: water vapor forming into clouds

condensation

Definition: the cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid Example: water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

transpiration

Definition: the passage of water vapor from plant to the atmosphere Example: PLANT SWEAT.

transpiration

Definition: the passage of water vapor from plant to the atmosphere Example: Transpiration is a path of water vapor from a plant to the atmosphere and becomes, as Mrs. Wardinsky likes to call it, plant sweat.

transpiration

Definition: the passage of water vapor from plant to the atmosphere Example: Transpiration is when a plant ¨sweats¨ out water and it forms dew. Later it evaporates into the air and becomes clouds.

transpiration

Definition: the passage of water vapor from plant to the atmosphere Example: traspiration is when water collects on a plant, or dew

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: Evaporation is when water changes from a liquid to a gas because of heat. It evaporates and goes into the air and it becomes water vapor.

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: It is when liquid turns into a gas and forms water vapor. :)

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: Ocean water (liquid) changing into water vapor (air).

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: When you leave a glass of water out on a hot day, and a few hours later you come out to get it, but all the water is gone, that is evaporation.

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: evaporation is where the sun exposes heat to water that makes water into water vapor.

evaporation

Definition: the process that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas, caused by heat. Example: when the suns rays heat the water and they become water vaper witch is a change from a liquid to a gas.

typical

Definition: usual, average Example: Typical glasses

typical

Definition: usual, average Example: i am typically bored

typical

Definition: usual, average Example: something normal

typical

Definition: usual, average Example: typical is like another boring day EX:it is another typical day on summer break.

precipitation

Definition: water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail Example: An example is when rain gets really cold and freezes into snow, hail, or sleet.

precipitation

Definition: water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail Example: Precipitation is when water droplets fall from the sky as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.

precipitation

Definition: water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail Example: Precipitation is when water particles get to heavy in a cloud and fall to the ground in the form of rain , sleet , snow and hail. :)

precipitation

Definition: water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail Example: When there is too much water in the atmosphere, the water forms clouds, and when they get too heavy, rain, snow, sleet or hail fall.

weather

Definition: describes the condition of the air outdoors such as temperature, cloud cover, rain, speed and rainfall Example: The state of atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness , sunshine , wind , and rain

weather

Definition: describes the condition of the air outdoors such as temperature, cloud cover, rain, speed and rainfall Example: Weather is the temperature around us that changes every once in a while, like temperature, rain, wind, and other components of weather.

weather

Definition: describes the condition of the air outdoors such as temperature, cloud cover, rain, speed and rainfall Example: Weather is the temperature, humidity, clouds, air, and precipitation around us.

temperature

Definition: how hot or cold something is Example: how cold you are

temperature

Definition: how hot or cold something is Example: temperature is how hot or cold it is, depending on the weather.

temperature

Definition: how hot or cold something is Example: temperature is the heat of the air outside

temperature

Definition: how hot or cold something is Example: when something is hot or cold ex: when becky is sick

data

Definition: pieces of information Example: Pieces of information that people use to export their experiments. These can be facts of misleading. People that look through data must be careful of what they believe.

water cycle

Definition: changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates down to earth. Example: Ocean water to water vapor, then water vapor to water droplets in the clouds, lastly water droplets in the clouds to rain drops falling on your head.

water cycle

Definition: changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates down to earth. Example: The water cycle is the process water goes through as it changes from a liquid to a gas then back to a liquid. The steps of the water cycle include evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, groundwater, and transpiration.

run-off

Definition: rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the oceans. Example: A run off is when water falls in a stream off the mountain.

climate

Definition: average weather condition of a region year after year. Example: The normal and average weather in a place depending on their location on earth, or if they are near the equator or not.

water cycle

Definition: changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates down to earth. Example: It starts out as water that changes from liquid to a gas as Evaporation then Condensation happens which is droplets in a cloud next, Precipitation happens when it changes from a gas to a liquid and then drops down to the earth as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.

weather

Definition: describes the condition of the air outdoors such as temperature, cloud cover, rain, speed and rainfall Example: The state atmoshere at a place and time as regards heat,dryness,sunshine,wind,rain, ect.
