1. Water Cycle Processes

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Evaporation: The process where water turns into gas by gaining heat. It occurs when water molecules absorb energy, typically from the sun, causing them to become vapor. (source)

  • Condensation: The process where water vapor loses heat and becomes liquid. It involves cooling of water vapor, leading to the formation of liquid droplets. (source)

  • Sublimation: The process where a solid directly transforms into gas without passing through the liquid state. It involves the solid gaining enough heat to bypass melting. (source)

  • States of water: The physical forms water can take—solid, liquid, and gas. Each state has distinct particle arrangements and movement characteristics. (source)

  • Water cycle paths: The routes water follows in nature, including runoff (water flowing over land into bodies of water), infiltration (water seeping into the ground), and evaporation (water returning to the atmosphere). (source)

  • Energy source: The sun, which provides the heat energy necessary to drive the processes of evaporation and other water cycle activities. (source)
