|
Absorption |
Removal of water from the soil by roots (gravity) |
|
|
Condensation |
Water changes from gas to a liquid in the absence of heat ( |
|
|
Consumption |
The using up of a resource |
|
|
Evaporation |
Water changes from a liquid to gas in the presence of heat less then that of the boiling point. |
|
|
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 |
|
|
Excretion |
The process of eliminating or expelling waste matter |
|
|
Glaciation |
Liquid water from Earths surface freezes into a large ice mass called glaciers. 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 movers over plants animals and trees to larger water sources. |
|
|
Sublimation |
the transition of a substance directly from the solid gas ti a phase without passing thought the intermediate liquid phase. An example of this is solid carbon dioxide "dry ice", which sublimates (transforms from a solid gas) at room temperature. |
|
|
Transpiration |
Liquid water evaporates to gas in the presence of heat in plants. |
|
|
Vaporization |
When molecules change from a solid or a liquid to a gas. This occurs in the presence of heat. |
|
|
Accumlation |
Process in which water pools in large bodies |
|
|
Crystallization |
The formation of crystals when water freezes. |
