The process where ice and snow (solid) change into water vapor (gas), skipping the liquid phase.

The process where liquid water changes into water vapor (gas).

The process where water vapor (gas) changes into water droplets (liquid).

Water that falls to the earth. Most precipitation falls as rain but includes snow, sleet, drizzle, and hail.

The process where water vapor (gas) changes into ice (solid), skipping the liquid phase.

Movement of water into the ground from the surface.

Movement of water past the soil going deep into the groundwater.

The movement of solid, liquid and gaseous water through the atmosphere.

River, lake, and stream transport of water and transport of ice in glaciers.

The process in the water cycle where water gathers in large bodies, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, or as groundwater and glaciers after precipitation

The phenomenon where Earth’s rotation causes moving water (ocean currents) and air (winds) to curve rather than travel in a straight line.

The continuous movement of water or air caused by density differences driven by heating and cooling, where warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks.

Surface currents vs. Deep currents

Surface currents are fast-moving, wind-driven waters on the ocean surface, while deep currents are slow, dense waters caused by cold temperatures and salt content

Water Cycle 26

Water Cycle 26 for science period 8 Mrs. Braun

Term	Definition
Sublamation	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).
Condensation	The process where water vapor (gas) changes into water droplets (liquid).
Participation	Water that falls to the earth. Most precipitation falls as rain but includes snow, sleet, drizzle, and hail.
Deposition	The process where water vapor (gas) changes into ice (solid), skipping the liquid phase.
Infiltration	Movement of water into the ground from the surface.
Percolation	Movement of water past the soil going deep into the groundwater.
Transpiration	The movement of solid, liquid and gaseous water through the atmosphere.
Runoff	River, lake, and stream transport of water and transport of ice in glaciers.
Accumulation	The process in the water cycle where water gathers in large bodies, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, or as groundwater and glaciers after precipitation
Coriolis effect	The phenomenon where Earth’s rotation causes moving water (ocean currents) and air (winds) to curve rather than travel in a straight line.
Convection	The continuous movement of water or air caused by density differences driven by heating and cooling, where warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks.
Surface currents vs. Deep currents	Surface currents are fast-moving, wind-driven waters on the ocean surface, while deep currents are slow, dense waters caused by cold temperatures and salt content
