THE STACK
| runoff | draining away of water |
| transpiration | water vapor given of plant leaves |
| condensation | the change of state from a gas to a solid |
| precipitation | any form of water falling from the sky |
| convection current | Movement of water because if its density |
| evaporation | the process where water becomes water vapor |
| deposition | when water vapor directly changes from a gas to a solid, skipping the liquid phase |
| Coriolis effect | the apparent deflection of objects (like air currents or ocean currents) moving on a rotating frame of reference (like Earth), causing them to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. |
| infiltration | the process where water on the Earth's surface, like rain or snowmelt, soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater. |
| sublimation | the direct transition of ice or snow into water vapor (gas) without first becoming a liquid |
