Match the following

• Infiltration

• the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock. Ground water begins as precipitation. Once water infiltrates the soil it can move vertically and horizontally through the soil.

• Condensation

• occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air.

• Precipitation

• the opposite of evaporation; it occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into liquid form.

• Groundwater storage

• condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and mist. Only 10% of water evaporated falls as precipitation.

• Evaporation

• is the water that exists for long periods below the Earth’s surface.
