Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle) – Flashcards

Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earths surface like hail, snow, sleet, rain;clouds get heavy and the air cannot hold it anymore

The change of a liquid to a gas; the sun heats energy up and turns water into vapor(gas)

Gas to Liquid; gas gets colder and changes back to liquid , forming clouds

Gas to Liquid; gas gets colder and changes back to liquid , forming clouds

Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant gives of purified water to be evaporated

a large body of air with uniform characteristics horizontally

the front of the advancing mass of colder air

The front of an advancing mass of warmer air

A front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all

A high-speed high-altitude airstream blowing from west to east near the top of the troposphere

The temperature at which condensation begins. When the air is completely full or saturated with water vapor.

a stratus cloud that forms when air is cooled to its dew point near the ground.
droplets of water vapor suspended in the air near the ground.a cloud that forms near Earths surface (suspended water droplets or ice crystals). this causes low visibility.
