Water
Words
Words which
help us describe different aspects of our water cycle:
Evaporation: the
process in which liquid water turns into a gas (water vapor)
Condensation: the
process in which water in the air turns into liquid water
(clouds, fog, dew and white frost are all forms of condensation)
Precipitation: the word
we use to describe water which falls from the sky
(rain, sleet, snow, and hail are all forms of precipitation)
Transpiration: the
process
in which plants absorb water through their roots and then give off water vapor
through pores in their leaves
Vapor Transport: the movement of water through the atmosphere, specifically from over the oceans to over land
