Melting |
The addition of energy to a solid to change it into a liquid. |
|
|
Boiling |
The addition of energy to a liquid to turn it into a gas. Heat is applied to all parts of the liquid. Making it break free of it's bonds, making it a gas. |
|
|
Evaporation |
The addition of energy to a liquid and turning to a gas. The particles are moving very quickly and once in a while a single molecule is knocked into the air. With it's freeness, it moves quickly and turns into a gas and becomes part of the air around it. This happens to millions of molecules, and can eventually change a glass of water into a gas |
|
|
Condensation |
The loss of energy in a gas turning into a liquid. |
|
|
Freezing |
The loss of energy turning a liquid into a solid. |
|
|
Sublimation |
The change of a solid directly to a gas |
|
|
Desposition |
The change of a gas directly into a solid |
|
|
Solid |
The state of matter that has the particles locked into a fixed shape and volume |
|
|
Liquid |
The state of matter where particles slide past one another and have no fixed shape, but has a fixed volume |
|
|
Gas |
The state of matter where the particles are very far apart, and has no fixed shape of volume. |
|
|
Infiltration |
When water hits the ground, it can go into it with a process of infiltration. |
|
|
Runoff |
When water is not infiltrated into the ground, it will run along it. |
|
|
ground water |
when water is in the ground, it forms pockets of this. It can stay there from a day to 100,000 years |
|
|
Parcipitation |
Water falling from the sky (ex snow, hail, rain, sleet) |
|
|
Transparation |
A process in where a plant takes liquid water and releaces it into the air as gas. |
