TermDefinition

Precipitation When water falls to earth from the atmosphere, such as snow, sleet, rain, and hail.
Runoff When water flows over Earth's surface as a result of gravity.
Evaporation The transition from a liquid to a gas. In water, this happens when liquid water gains energy by warming up.
