when a liquid turns into to vapor (gas). Because of heating.

When a vapor (gas) to turns into a liquid. Because of cooling.

Rain, snow that falls to the ground

Any body of water above ground: river, stream, lakes, ponds, oceans

When water soaks into the ground fills the air spaces between rocks and soil

Water held underground in the soil

When water and nutrients like nitrogen are transferred from the soil and goes into plants

When plants take up water from the soil and release it as water vapor through their leaves

Precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the surface toward surface water (stormwater in cities)

The transition of a substance directly from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase, triggered by heat.

Phase transition where gas transforms directly into solid without passing through a liquid state.

A thermodynamic phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid as its temperature drops

The physical process where a substance changes state from a solid to a liquid

Sticking together of particles of different substances. This is how water sticks to other materials

Sticking together of particles of the same substance. This explains how water molecules stick to each other which allows for surface tension.

A force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet.

The movement of a liquid through or along another material against an opposing force, such as gravity.

High Specific Heat Capcity

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree Celsius (°C). Water has a high specific heat, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of water compared to other substances.

Measures water cloudiness due to suspended particles.

Measures acidity or alkalinity of water.

Indicates the presence of dissolved ions.

Excessive nutrient enrichment in water bodies.

The removal of water from an aquifer or body of surface water without returning it to its source.

Does not or only temporarily removes water from the source.

The amount of salt present in water.
