Water Cycle

The continuous movement of water on Earth involving evaporation from bodies of water, transpiration from plants, condensation into clouds, precipitation, and accumulation via surface runoff and groundwater.

Evaporation

The process by which liquid water from oceans, lakes, streams, or groundwater is heated by the sun and turns into water vapour.

Transpiration

The process in the water cycle where moisture is carried through plants and released into the atmosphere as water vapour.

Condensation

The phase in the water cycle where water vapour rises, cools in the air, and forms clouds consisting of water droplets and ice.

Precipitation

Water released from clouds that falls back to the surface of the Earth in the form of rain, snow, or sleet.

Universal Solvent

A descriptive term for water because of its unique chemical ability to dissolve more substances than any other liquid, allowing it to form beverages, cleaning fluids, and numerous other mixtures.

Concentrated Solution

A solution that contains a relatively large amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent.

Dilute Solution

A solution that contains only a small amount of solute dissolved in a solvent.

Saturated Solution

A state of a solution in which no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature.

Unsaturated Solution

A solution in which additional solute is capable of being dissolved.

Super-Saturated Solution

An unstable solution that contains more dissolved solute than it would normally be able to dissolve under standard equilibrium conditions.

Solubility

The maximum amount of solute that will completely dissolve in a given quantity of solvent under specified conditions.

Insoluble

The characteristic of a solute that cannot dissolve or bind into a particular solvent.

Matter

Any physical substance that takes up space and has mass, encompassing all solids, liquids, and gases.

Stigma
