• Water is stored in ice and snow, with a small percentage of it being frozen.
• Sometimes days, sometimes thousands of years.

• When cloud particles become too heavy to remain suspended in the air, they fall to the earth as precipitation.

• Snowmelt runoff is a major component in the water cycle.

• Infiltration is when the water enters into the subsurface of soil and rocks

• As part of the water cycle, ground water is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals.

• Most of the water in the ground comes from precipitation that infiltrates downward from the land surface
• Large amounts of water are stored in the ground.

• Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapor form
• This is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle.

• The water in the oceans is saltwater, it contains significant amounts of dissolved salts
• 96.5% of the worlds water comes from the ocean
![Page 11: By: Mark Attalla Amber Watts Osvaldo Mendoza](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814b12550346895db82aba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water.
• This is crucial because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

• There is always water in the atmosphere. Clouds are, of course, the most visible manifestation of atmospheric water, but even clear air contains water- in particles that are too small to be seen.

• Evapotranspiration is the water lost to the atmosphere from the ground surface.
• The transpiration part is talking about evaporation of water from plant leaves.

• Sublimation is when a solid changes directly into a gas
• It is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor in the air without first melting into water.

• Oceans, seas, and other bodies of water contain about 90% of the moisture in the atmosphere.
• Other 10%=plants, transpiration.
• 3,100 cubic miles of water.

• Includes all water on earth.
• 1.35 million cubic kilometers of water on earth.
• Not a single drop of water can be found anywhere else in the solar system.

• The solid part of earth.
• Is composed of minerals and contains the groundwater.

• Is all living organisms.
• Covers the top 200 meters of oceans and seas.
