Unit 5: Water

Label the Parts of the Water Cycle

• What drives the water cycle?

• Solid water

• Sublimation: Turns from solid → Gas

• Infiltration: water sinks into the ground

• Transpiration: Plants take up water with roots and release it as water vapor from their leaves

• Condensation: As water cools it condenses around condensation nuclei (sand, salt, dust, ash)

• Precipitation: Rain, snow, sleet, hail

• Evaporation: water turns from liquid→ gas
