Flashcard Title: The Water Cycle

Front: What are the main processes in the water cycle?

Back: The main processes in the water cycle include:

1. Evaporation: The process where liquid water turns into vapor and enters the atmosphere.

2. Condensation: Water vapor cools down and transforms back into liquid water, forming clouds.

3. Precipitation: Water falls from clouds to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, or hail.

4. Infiltration: Water seeps into the ground, replenishing aquifers.

5. Runoff: Water flows over the land surface back into rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Understanding these processes illustrates how water circulates through the environment and supports life.

1. Evaporation:

1. Evaporation: The process where liquid water turns into vapor and enters the atmosphere.

1. Condensation:

The process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid, forming clouds.

1. Precipitation:

The process where water falls from clouds to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, or hail.

1. Infiltration

The process by which water soaks into the ground, replenishing groundwater supplies.

1. Runoff:

The process by which water flows over the land surface and is eventually returned to bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes.
