The movement of water from the earth and into the atmosphere and back again.

Excess water flowing over the land surface, and does not soak into the soil.

Materials that are pushed along the bottom of a stream

Moving materials that are held in solution with water of a stream

Materials that move and are held up by the water of a stream

Streams that flow into other streams increasing the size of the stream that it is joining

All the land in which water flows on or under into a major river

The attractive force between water molecules

Liquid water is able to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth.

The process that moves water through narrow porous spaces.

When molecules of water are attracted to other substances.

Weak attractive forces between individual water molecules

____________________ 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.

_____________________ 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.

___________________ 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

__________________ 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.

__________________ 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.
