What is sublimation?

• the process by which liquid water turns into a gas

• The process by which frozen water turns directly into water vapor without becoming a liquid first.

• the process by which water seeps into holes in the ground

• It is when tiny holes in leaves called stomata release water vapor into the air

What is transpiration?

• It is when liquid water becomes a gas (water vapor)

• The process by which frozen water turns directly into water vapor without becoming a liquid first.

• It is when tiny holes in leaves called stomata release water vapor into the air

• It is the process plants go through before they break through the seed coat

What is evaporation?

• It is when water slowly seeps into the ground

• When liquid or frozen water falls down to earth

• It is when liquid water becomes a gas (water vapor)

• The process by which frozen water turns directly into water vapor without becoming a liquid first.
