Term Scientific Definition Application in Water Cycle<\/p>\n
evaporation when a liquid changes to its gaseous state Water has enough energy to leave its liquid<\/p>\n
state and become water vapor.<\/p>\n
condensation when a gas changes to its liquid state Water vapor molecules cool down high in the atmosphere and form droplets and then drops<\/p>\n
of water.<\/p>\n
precipitation any form of condensed<\/p>\n
water falling back to Earth\u2019s surface<\/p>\n
With certain temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions, droplets of water in<\/p>\n
clouds join together to form larger, heavier drops. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls to<\/p>\n
Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n
transpiration process of evaporation of water from the leaves of<\/p>\n
plants<\/p>\n
Plants absorb water from the soil. As they open tiny pores in their leaves to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, some water escapes (along with oxygen) and<\/p>\n
evaporates, becoming water vapor in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n
infiltration process of rainwater soaking into the ground Rainwater soaks into the ground, through soil<\/p>\n
and porous underground rock, becoming groundwater.<\/p>\n
runoff water that flows over land<\/p>\n
until it joins with rivers, lakes, and oceans<\/p>\n
Much of the precipitation that returns to Earth\u2019s surface is unable to be absorbed and flows downhill over Earth\u2019s surface, collecting<\/p>\n
minerals and soil) until it joins with rivers, lakes, and oceans.<\/p>\n
Scenario<\/p>\n
Scientists have collected a significant amount of data about the water cycle and the six main processes of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, and runoff. Some of the collected data can be observed in the scientific definitions and the diagram of the water cycle below.<\/p>\n

Based on the evidence, write a scientific description of how of the processes of the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, and runoff) depend upon the Sun\u2019s energy to cycle water on Earth.<\/p>\n

Scientific Definition of the Term Application in the Water Cycle<\/p>\n
When a liquid converts to a gaseous state, this is referred to as evaporation. Water has enough energy to escape its liquid state.<\/p>\n
state and turn into water vapor<\/p>\n
Condensation occurs when a gas transitions to a liquid form. Water vapor molecules cool in the atmosphere, forming droplets and then drops.<\/p>\n
a body of water<\/p>\n
any type of concentrated precipitation<\/p>\n
water resurfacing on the Earth’s surface<\/p>\n
Droplets of water in the atmosphere can form under particular temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions.<\/p>\n
Clouds combine to generate greater, heavier drops. It rains, snows, sleets, or hails.<\/p>\n
The planet’s surface.<\/p>\n
The process of evaporation of water from the leaves of plants is known as transpiration.<\/p>\n
plants<\/p>\n
Water is absorbed by plants from the soil. They take in carbon dioxide by opening microscopic pores in their leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
