| condensation | water vapor turning into liquid |
| transpiration | plants giving off water vapor to the atmosphere |
| evaporation | water molecules becoming a vapor/gas |
| impermeable rock layer | layer of bedrock through which water cannot pass through |
| sun | source of energy to keep water cycle going |
| surface water | oceans, rivers, lakes |
| precipitation | rain, sleet, hail , snow |
| ground water | porous rock layer saturated with water |
| run-off | water drains off the land into ditches, streams, etc. |
| coalescence | smaller water droplets coming together to make larger raindrops |
| condensation nucleii | smoke, dust, dirt particles which water vapor wraps around to make droplets |
