| Most freshwater is locked up in these | glaciers and ice caps |
| flowing fresh water that moves downhill | river |
| any water that is underground | groundwater |
| any water that is above ground on Earth | surface water |
| the process of water vapor becoming liquid water | condensation |
| the movement of water from Earth’s surface to its atmosphere and back again | water cycle |
| any form of water that falls to Earth | precipitation |
| the change that occurs when liquid changes to gas | evaporation |
| the gas form of water | water vapor |
| This changes the phases of water | temperature |
| The 3 phases of water | liquid water, ice, water vapor |
| Water droplets & ice crystals condense in the air to form these | clouds |
| Surface water is found in these | oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, glaciers, icecaps, canals, puddles |
| This precipitation is rain that freezes as it falls | sleet |
| This precipitation is water vapor that turns directly into ice crystals before falling | snow |
| This precipitation is drops of water that freeze in the clouds and are coated with ice before falling | hail |
| Oceans & seas have this kind of water | salt water |
| Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, and most groundwater have this kind of water | fresh water |
| Percentage of Earth's surface water that is freshwater | 3% |
| Percentage of Earth's surface water that is salt water | 97% |
| Percentage of Earth that is covered in water | about 75% |
