| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| sublamathion | The process where ice and snow (solid) change into water vapor (gas), skipping the liquid phase. |
| evaporation | The process where liquid water changes into water vapor (gas). |
| deposition | The process where water vapor (gas) changes into ice (solid), skipping the liquid phase. |
| Coriolis affect | the apparent curving of the path of objects (like air or water) moving over the Earth’s surface, caused by the planet's rotation |
| convection current | heat-driven cycles that occur in liquids and gases (fluids), where warmer, less-dense material rises while cooler, denser material sinks |
| transportation | Evaporation of liquid water from plants and trees into the atmosphere. |
| condensation | The process where water vapor (gas) changes into water droplets (liquid). |
| surface currents vs deep currents | surface made by wind. deep created by density differences |
| precipition | Water that falls to the earth. Most precipitation falls as rain but includes snow, sleet, drizzle, and hail. |
| runoff | River, lake, and stream transport of water and transport of ice in glaciers. |
| plant up take | Water taken from the groundwater flow and soil moisture. |
