___________________ is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. __________________ is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water
Transpiration
Deposition
Percolation
Evaporation
The vast majority of Earth's water is (a) found in oceans. Only a tiny fraction is readily accessible (b) , which is what humans need.
____________________ is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. ________________ rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation.
Infiltration
Percolation
Deposition
Condensation
Water found at the Earth's (a) can cycle rapidly, but much of Earth's water lies in ice, oceans, and underground (b) ; this water cycles (c) .
_____________________ is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most ________________ falls as rain.

Surface runoff
Evaporation
The water cycle is (a) and involves (b) in water as well as the (c) of water through and between (d) .
__________________ is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. ________________ is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

Reservoirs
Groundwater
Hydrological cycle
__________________ is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. ______________ is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.
Transpiration
