Heat causes liquid to become vapor and enter the air. This is how water from the ocean enters the air. This process is known as:

• Runoff

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

Condensation occurs when:

• 
  Liquid water is heated and escapes into the air.

• Water vapor cools into liquid droplets

• Water seeps through the ground

• Rain water freezes into ice

Snowpack is formed from layers of snow, which is a form of:

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation
