evaporation - a process at which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state, condensation - water vapor cools and becomes a liquid, precipitation - when water in the form of ice, rain, sleet, hail, or snow, falls to Earth, Sublimation - A change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid, transpiration - the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants, runoff - when precipitation hits the ground, it is either absorbed, or it flows over the surface of the earth, water vapor - water in its gas form, groundwater - water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers. 30% of the earth's surface freshwater is in this place., Weather - The daily conditions of the atmosphere in terms of temperature, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover, wind, and moisture., Climate - The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period., Infiltration/percolation - the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil, Aquifers - Subterranean, porous, water-holding rocks that provide millions of wells with steady flows of water., Watershed - An ecosystem where all water runoff drains into a single body of water,
