The number of step in the water cycle

The slow movement of water through pores in soil or permeable rock

Evaporation that comes from plants

Clouds that look like fluffy, rounded piles of cotton

Water which runs along the surface into collection points (streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, etc)

Any form of water from the clouds

A rock that tends to stop the flow of water

A liquid that transforms once evaporated

Clouds that form in flat layers.

When water droplets fuse to create larger water droplets, or when water droplets freeze onto ice crystals

Process by which a liquid becomes a gas

Waters that are emptying from one moving source (stream or river) into another moving or still source (river or lake)

The percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount the air could hold at a given temperature

Encouraging rainfall by seeding the air with condensation nuclei

Ice pellets larger than 5 millimeters in diameter formed in cumulonimbus clouds by strong updrafts of wind

The process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or state

A rock layer that stores and allows the flow of ground water

The amount of moisture in the air

The temperature at which the water vapor in the air becomes saturated and condensation begins

Precipitation that begins falling to the Earth but evaporates before reaching the surface.

The cycle in which the natural sequence through which water passes into the atmosphere as water vapor, precipitates to earth in liquid or solid form, and ultimately returns to the atmosphere through evaporation.

When a solid turns into a gas without first becoming a liquid

Instrument used to measure relative humidity that has two thermometers (wet bulb and dry bulb)

The process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or state

Open ended tube that collects rainfall
