|
Absorption |
Removal of water from the soil by the roots (this process occurs due to gravity) |
|
|
Condensation : Water changes from gas to liquid in the absence of heat (cooling) |
|
|
Evaporation |
Water changes liquid to gas in the presence of heat less than that of the boiling point |
|
|
The Using Up of a Resource |
Consumption |
|
Boiling |
The addition of heat to water that causes it to expand and the temperature to rise, until it reaches its boiling point. When more heat is added the liquid starts to vaporize (turn into steam) |
|
|
Precipitation : Condensed water gathers and falls from the sky in the absence of heat (cooling) |
|
|
Excretion |
The process of eliminating or expelling waste matter |
|
|
Glaciation |
Liquid water from Earth's surface freezes into large ice masses called glaciers. This occurs in the absence of heat |
|
|
Infiltration |
Absorption of water by soil |
|
|
Run-Off |
Liquid water from precipitation moves over plants, animals, and trees to larger water sources. This occurs due to gravity |
|
Sublimation |
The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. An example of this is a solid carbon dioxide "dry ice", which sublimates (transforms from solid to gas) at room temperature. |
|
|
Liquid Water Evaporates to a Gas (Water Vapor) in the Presence of Heat in Plants |
Transpiration |
|
|
Vaporization |
When molecules change from a solid pr a liquid to a gas. This occurs in the presence of heat (included : boiling, evaporation, sublimation) |
|
Accumulation |
process in which water pools in large bodies of water (lakes, rivers, oceans, seas) |
