CONDENSATION
• IS THE OPPOSITE OF EVAPORATION
• IT OCCURS WHEN AIR COOLS AND THE VAPOR COLLECTS INTO LIQUID FORM.
• FOR EXAMPLE, THE LIQUID THAT FORMS ON A MIRROR AFTER A HOT SHOWER

EVAPORATION
• OCCURS WHEN THE SUN HEATS WATER UP AND IT BECOMES VAPOR IN THE AIR.
• CAN BE SEEN BY OUR EYES
• THE STEAM FROM A BOILING POT OF WATER

SUBLIMATION
• OCCURS WHEN SNOW OR ICE (CONSIDERED THE SOLID FORM OF WATER) CHANGES DIRECTLY INTO VAPOR.
• EXAMPLE: DRY ICE

PRECIPITATION
• IS CONDENSATION FALLING ONTO LAND IN THE FOLLOW FORMS:
• RAIN
• SLEET
• HAIL
• SNOW
• MIST
• DEW
• FOG
• ONLY 10% OF WATER EVAPORATED FALLS AS PRECIPITATION.

INFILTRATION
• IS THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER FROM THE LAND SURFACE INTO THE SOIL OR POROUS ROCK.
• GROUND WATER BEGINS AS PRECIPITATION.
• ONCE WATER INFILTRATES THE SOIL IT CAN MOVE:
• VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY THROUGH THE SOIL.

GROUNDWATER DISCHARGE
• THE MOVEMENT OF WATER OUT OF THE GROUND.
• THIS CAN BE SEEN OF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER BEING PUSHED OUT FROM THE ROCKS.
• WILL FLOW TO A RIVER OR STREAM

GROUNDWATER STORAGE
• IS THE WATER THAT EXISTS FOR LONG PERIODS BELOW THE EARTH’S SURFACE.
• FOR EXAMPLE, A WATER TABLE
• ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A WELL.

SURFACE RUNOFF
• WHEN PRECIPITATION TRAVELS OVER THE SOIL SURFACE TO THE NEAREST STREAM CHANNEL.
• WHEN RAIN HITS SATURATED OR IMPERVIOUS GROUND, IT WILL FLOW DOWNHILL.
• IT IS AFFECTED BY TOPOGRAPHIC, GEOGRAPHIC, AND GEOLOGIC FACTORS.
• THIS CAN BE SEEN WHEN IT RAINS AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THE WATER COMING FROM THE SITE IS BROWN, THAT IS THE WATER PICKING UP AT THE LOOSE SEDIMENT.
