Water Cycle
the process by which water is drawn into openings due to the attractive force between water molecules and the surrounding Earth materials
the overall view of a region's weather conditions over long periods of time
the subsurface water found beneath the water table in the zones of saturation
a model, often a diagram, used to illustrate the movement and changes of state (phases) of water at or near the Earth's surface; Also know as the hydrologic cycle
Runoff
all the natural liquid water flowing at Earth's solid surface, including stream flow
a condition in which all the particles in a material are the same or similar in size, density, or shape
the amount of water that passes a certain spot in a stream in a specific amount of time, such as liter per minute.
a condition in which the particles in a material are of mixed sizes
Sorted
all the natural liquid water flowing at Earth's solid surface, including stream flow
a condition in which all the particles in a material are the same or similar in size, density, or shape

Seep
water entering or sinking into, under the influence of gravity, the upper parts of the Earth's lithosphere where the water becomes subsurface water
the degree to which a porous material (such as rock or soil) will allow fluids such as water and oil, to pass through it
percentage of open space (pores and cracks) in a material compared to its total volume.
winds that blow from a certain compass direction for a large part of a year
