water cycle 26
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Coriolis effect | wind moves from area of high pressure to area of low pressure |
| convection current | this cycle patterns of cycle caused by density different |
| runoff | water from rain, snow melt, or irrigation that does not soak into the ground but instead flows over the land surface. |
| transportation | the process where plants absorb liquid water through their roots and release it as water vapor into the atmosphere through tiny pores (stomata) in their leaves |
| evaporation | the process where solar energy heats liquid water from oceans, lakes, and rivers, turning it into water vapor (a gas) that rises into the atmosphere |
| sublimation | the process where ice or snow turns directly into water vapor (gas) without melting into liquid water first. |
| deposition | the direct phase change of water vapor (gas) into ice (solid) without becoming liquid water first. |
| precipitation | the stage in the water cycle where water falls from clouds back to Earth's surface as liquid or solid |
| condensation | the process where water vapor (gas) in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid water droplets |
| surface currents vs deep currents | surface currents are created by wind: deep currents are created density differens |
