water on the ground entering the soil.

changing from water vapor into ice (from a gas to a solid liquid stage)

the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor (gas) in the air without first melting into water

happens when water absorbs energy from the sun, the atmosphere, or even our own body heat.

makes storms swirl clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

As it heats up, it becomes less dense and begins to rise. As it rises, it cools, and eventually, it becomes dense enough to sink again

Liquid water evaporates from the leaves of plants

Water vapor can condense into liquid.

precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the Earth's surface toward streams.

surface currents vs. deep currents

Deep currents are driven by temperature and water density/salinity.

water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.

Question	Answer
infiltration	water on the ground entering the soil.
Deposition	changing from water vapor into ice (from a gas to a solid liquid stage)
Sublimation	the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor (gas) in the air without first melting into water
evaporation	happens when water absorbs energy from the sun, the atmosphere, or even our own body heat.
Coriolis effect	makes storms swirl clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
convection current	As it heats up, it becomes less dense and begins to rise. As it rises, it cools, and eventually, it becomes dense enough to sink again
transpiration	Liquid water evaporates from the leaves of plants
condensation	Water vapor can condense into liquid.
runoff	precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the Earth's surface toward streams.
surface currents vs. deep currents	Deep currents are driven by temperature and water density/salinity.
precipitation	water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
