Cycles in Nature Water and Carbon

________ is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor due to heat from the sun.

• Condensation

• Transpiration

• Sublimation

• Evaporation

_________ is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

The continuous movement of water from the earth into the atmosphere

• Water Table

• Percolation

• Aquifer

• Hydrologic cycle

Plants giving off moisture and releasing water into the air

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Runoff

Water running off the land surface

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Transpiration

• Run-off

When clouds get too heavy and water falls back to earth in the form of rain, snow, hail or other forms.

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Percolation

• Transpiration

What is evaporation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
