2. Water Cycle • The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or H2O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

4. Processes of Water Cycle Accumulation Evaporation Transpiration Condensation Precipitation Surface Runoff Subsurface Runoff

5. Accumulation • the process in which water pools in large bodies (like oceans, seas and lakes).

6. Evaporation • Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. •  When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid into an invisible gas. The gas is called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into the atmosphere.

7. Transpiration •  the process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. Water is first absorbed by the plant's roots, then later exits by evaporating through pores in the plant.

8. Condensation • The transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air, creating clouds and fog.

9. Precipitation • Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore.  The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.

10. Surface Runoff •  rain, snow melt, or other water that flows in surface streams, rivers, or canals.

11. Subsurface Flow • The flow of water underground. •  rain, snow melt, or other water that flows in underground streams, drains, or sewers.
