Evaporation: Water turning into gas by gaining heat. It occurs when water molecules absorb heat energy, causing them to change from liquid to vapor. (Source: Chapter 10)
Condensation: Water vapor losing heat and becoming liquid. This process involves cooling, which slows molecules and results in vapor transforming into liquid droplets. (Source: Chapter 10)
Sublimation: Solid turning directly into gas without passing through the liquid state. It involves the solid gaining enough heat to become vapor directly. (Source: Chapter 10)
States of water: The different forms water can take—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These states depend on temperature and energy conditions. (Source: Chapter 10)
Water cycle paths: The routes water takes through different processes, including runoff (water flowing over land into water bodies), infiltration (water seeping into soil and groundwater), and evaporation (water returning to the atmosphere). (Source: Chapter 10)
Energy source: The sun, which drives the water cycle by providing the heat necessary for evaporation and circulation. (Source: Chapter 10)
