Condensation
arrow_right_alt
Gravity draws water back to Earth as rain, sleet, or snow
Precipitation
arrow_right_alt
Solar radiation changing water from a liquid to a gas
Sublimation
arrow_right_alt
Water that is lost through the leaves of plants
Transpiration
arrow_right_alt
Water flowing from the surface of the Earth toward bodies of water
Runoff
arrow_right_alt
Water percolating (filtering through) from the surface through the soil to aquifers
Infiltration
arrow_right_alt
