1. The Water Cycle
All the water on the planet is recycled in this way!

2. Evaporation From Liquid to Gas. Gains energy (heats up) from the sun.
Occurs when liquid water from the Earth’s surface and from living organisms changes into water vapor (a gas).

3. Transpiration
Water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. Water is first absorbed by the plant’s roots, then later exits by evaporating through pores of the plant.

4. Condensation From Gas to Liquid
When water vapor (a gas) in the air cools and changes into liquid water droplets that form clouds in the atmosphere.
Clouds are liquid!

5. Solid Particulates
Solid particles in the air that the water condenses onto, such as smog and dust.

6. Precipitation
Water, in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds onto the Earth’s surface because the water droplets in the cloud became too heavy to stay up.

7. Runoff
Water that flows across land and collects in rivers, streams, and eventually the ocean.

8. Infiltration
The movement of rain, snowmelt or other water that flows in underground streams, drains, or sewers due to the pull of gravity.

9. Percolation
The downward movement of water through pores and other spaces in soil due to gravity.

15. Cohesion – Water is attracted to other water molecules

16. Adhesion – Water is attracted to other materials.

18. Surface Tension – The Cohesion of water molecules at the surface of the water.
