Hydrological Cycle

QuestionAnswer
the continuous movement of water on Earth hydrological cycle
the process where water vapor turns into a liquid; forms clouds; heat energy is lost condensation
the process where water changes from a liquid to a gas (vapor); heat energy is gained evaporation
water that seeps/soaks into earth's surface groundwater (infiltration)
the process where water returns to the earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail precipitation
the process where water is slowly released from plant life into the atmosphere transpiration
water that flows over the surface of the earth runoff
these two steps of the hydrological cycle are opposites of each other (one gains heat and one loses heat) evaporation and condensation
moisture found on the outside of a cold can on a hot summer's day or moisture found on a bathroom mirror after a hot shower condensation
during the evaporation stage, is heat being added or removed? added
during the condensation stage, is heat being added or removed? removed
water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere; most common type of precipitation rain
precipitation in the form of small, white, six-sided ice crystals formed in the air at a temperature of less than 32°F (0°C) snow
frozen or partly frozen rain; tiny grains of ice sleet
precipitation in the form of small clumps usually consisting of layers of clear ice; typically occur in thunderstorms hail
precipitation that freezes on impact with the ground or solid objects freezing rain
water vapor cools and collects, then it attaches to ______________ to form clouds dust particles
