\nTerm Scientific Definition Application in Water Cycle
\nevaporation when a liquid changes to
\nits gaseous state
\nWater has enough energy to leave its liquid
\nstate and become water vapor.
\ncondensation when a gas changes to its
\nliquid state
\nWater vapor molecules cool down high in the
\natmosphere and form droplets and then drops
\nof water.
\nprecipitation
\nany form of condensed
\nwater falling back to
\nEarth\u2019s surface
\nWith certain temperature and atmospheric
\npressure conditions, droplets of water in
\nclouds join together to form larger, heavier
\ndrops. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls to
\nEarth\u2019s surface.
\ntranspiration
\nprocess of evaporation of
\nwater from the leaves of
\nplants
\nPlants absorb water from the soil. As they
\nopen tiny pores in their leaves to take in
\ncarbon dioxide for photosynthesis, some
\nwater escapes (along with oxygen) and
\nevaporates, becoming water vapor in the
\natmosphere.
\ninfiltration process of rainwater
\nsoaking into the ground
\nRainwater soaks into the ground, through soil
\nand porous underground rock, becoming
\ngroundwater.
\nrunoff
\nwater that flows over land
\nuntil it joins with rivers,
\nlakes, and oceans
\nMuch of the precipitation that returns to
\nEarth\u2019s surface is unable to be absorbed and
\nflows downhill over Earth\u2019s surface, collecting
\nminerals and soil) until it joins with rivers,
\nlakes, and oceans.
\nScenario
\nScientists have collected a significant amount of data about the water cycle and the six main
\nprocesses of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration,
\nand runoff. Some of the collected data can be observed in the scientific definitions and the diagram
\nof the water cycle below.

\nBased on the evidence, write a scientific description of how of the processes of the water cycle
\n(evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, and runoff) depend upon the
\nSun\u2019s energy to cycle water on Earth.
