| The Water Cycle is what? | endless |
| Precipitation occurs after what? | Condensation, happens after clouds become heavy with water droplets |

| Evaporation is what? | when the sun heats water on earth's surface and it turns into water vapor in the atmosphere |
| how does dew form? | when water vapor condenses directly on a surface |
| how does frost form? | when water vapor condenses directly on a surface and freezes. |
| What is transpiration? | when plants allows water to leave them and it enters thew atmosphere as water vapor. |
| What is run-off? | when precipitation falls to the ground and attempts to get back to sea level |
| What is ground water flow? | when water seeps into the ground because the ground is porous and has space to hold the water |
| What is surface water flow? | when water flows on top of the surface because the ground isn't porous enough and it rains to hard and fast |
