CONDENSATION

• IS THE OPPOSITE OF EVAPORATION

• IT OCCURS WHEN AIR COOLS AND THE VAPOR COLLECTS INTO LIQUID FORM.

• FOR EXAMPLE, THE LIQUID THAT FORMS ON A MIRROR AFTER A HOT SHOWER

EVAPORATION

• OCCURS WHEN THE SUN HEATS WATER UP AND IT BECOMES VAPOR IN THE AIR.

• CAN BE SEEN BY OUR EYES

• THE STEAM FROM A BOILING POT OF WATER

SUBLIMATION

• OCCURS WHEN SNOW OR ICE (CONSIDERED THE SOLID FORM OF WATER) CHANGES DIRECTLY INTO VAPOR.

• EXAMPLE: DRY ICE

PRECIPITATION

• IS CONDENSATION FALLING ONTO LAND IN THE FOLLOW FORMS:

• RAIN

• SLEET

• HAIL

• SNOW

• MIST

• DEW

• FOG

• ONLY 10% OF WATER EVAPORATED FALLS AS PRECIPITATION.

INFILTRATION

• IS THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER FROM THE LAND SURFACE INTO THE SOIL OR POROUS ROCK.

• GROUND WATER BEGINS AS PRECIPITATION.

• ONCE WATER INFILTRATES THE SOIL IT CAN MOVE:

• VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY THROUGH THE SOIL.

GROUNDWATER DISCHARGE

• THE MOVEMENT OF WATER OUT OF THE GROUND.

• THIS CAN BE SEEN OF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER BEING PUSHED OUT FROM THE ROCKS.

• WILL FLOW TO A RIVER OR STREAM

GROUNDWATER STORAGE

• IS THE WATER THAT EXISTS FOR LONG PERIODS BELOW THE EARTH’S SURFACE.

• FOR EXAMPLE, A WATER TABLE

• ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A WELL.

SURFACE RUNOFF

• WHEN PRECIPITATION TRAVELS OVER THE SOIL SURFACE TO THE NEAREST STREAM CHANNEL.

• WHEN RAIN HITS SATURATED OR IMPERVIOUS GROUND, IT WILL FLOW DOWNHILL.

• IT IS AFFECTED BY TOPOGRAPHIC, GEOGRAPHIC, AND GEOLOGIC FACTORS.

• THIS CAN BE SEEN WHEN IT RAINS AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THE WATER COMING FROM THE SITE IS BROWN, THAT IS THE WATER PICKING UP AT THE LOOSE SEDIMENT.
