Condensation
Condensation is the process of water vapor transforming back into liquid form, creating clouds and fog.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the process where water is transformed from liquid to gas as it moves from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere.
Transpiration
Transpiration is the process wherein water moves through plants and evaporates from aerial parts, like leaves, stems, and flowers.
Infiltration
Infiltration is the process where water on the ground surface enters the soil.
Precipitation
Precipitation occurs when condensed water in the clouds becomes heavy enough to fall to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Surface Runoff
Surface runoff is the flow of water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, over land without being absorbed into the soil, which eventually makes its way to various bodies of water.
