temperature - a measure of how hot or cold something is, precipitation - the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist), water cycle - the continuous movement of water into the air, onto land, and then back to water sources, transpiration - the evaporation of water from plants., evaporation - the process by which water gains heat energy and changes from liquid form to a gas, condensation - the process by which water loses heat energy and changes back into liquid water droplets, sun - the driving force of the water cycle, collection - fallen precipitation is gathered in bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans., surface runoff - water moving across the land by gravity, percolation - the slow movement of water through the pores in soil or permeable rock into aquifers, discharge - when water emerges back to the surface of the Earth and flows into streams, interception - precipitation that does not reach the soil, but is instead taken in by the leaves, branches of plants and the forest floor, infiltration - process by which precipitation or water soaks into subsurface soils and moves into rocks through cracks and pore spaces.,
