- Precipitation
- Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.
- Interception
- Convection in the water cycle is when the air near the surface is heated, then rises taking heat with it. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid,forming clouds. This is called condensation.
- InfIltration
- Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain,hail, sleet or snow.
- Transportation
- When precipitation reaches the surface in vegetated areas, a certain percentage of it is retained on or intercepted by the vegetation. Rainfall that is not intercepted is referred to as throughfall.
- . Percolation is movement of water past the soil going deep into the groundwater. ... Groundwater is the flow of water under- ground in aquifers. The water may return to the surface in springs or eventually seep into the oceans.the movement of water into the ground from the surface Infiltration is
- The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant's stomata — tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.
