|
Absorption |
Removal of water from the soil by roots (this process occurs due to gravity) |
|
|
Accumulation |
the process in which water pools in large bodies of water (rivers,lakes,seas,oceans) |
|
|
Consumption |
The using up of a resource |
|
|
Evaporation |
Water changes from liquid to gas in the pressence of heat less than that of boiling |
|
|
Boiling |
The addition of heat to water that causes it to expand and the temperature to rise,until it reaches the boiling point. When more heat is added the water will vaporize |
|
|
Excretion |
The process of eliminating or expelling waste matter |
|
|
Glaciaration |
Liquid water from Earth´s surface freezes into large ice masses called glacier. this occurs in the absence of heat. |
|
|
Infiltration |
absorption of water by the soil |
|
|
Precipitation |
condensed water gathers and falls from the sky in the absence of heat (cooling) |
|
|
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. a example of this is solid carbon dioxide ¨dry ice¨ which sublimates at room temperature |
|
|
Transpiraton |
Liquid water evaporates to a gas (water vapor) in the presences of heat in plants |
|
|
Vaporization |
when molecules change from a solid or a liquid to a gas. This occurs in the presence of heat. (This includes: boiling,evaporation,sublimation) |
