The Water Cycle

Solar Radiation

• Radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction that creates electromagnetic energy
• This is a crutal part of the water cycle

Evaporation

• The process of turning water into vapor
• This is caused by the sun heating the water and changing the liquid into a gas

Evaporation

• The process of turning water into vapor
• This is caused by the sun heating the water and changing the liquid into a gas

Transpiration

• Transpiration is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
• This is caused by Solar radiation

Condensation

• Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface
• This a product of evaporation this comes right after evaporation

Precipitation

• Rain,Sleet,Snow,or Hail
• The cause of this is condesation and gravity

Infiltration

• Permeation of a liquid into something by filtration
• This is caused by percipatation and gravity

Runoff

• The draining away of water from the surface area of land,building,structure,etc
• This is caused by Infiltration and gravity

Ground Water

• Water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
• This is caused by Runoffs and gravity
