Infiltration
Match the steps of the hydrologic cycle to their definition
Transpiration
Gravity draws water back to Earth as rain, sleet, or snow
Precipitation
Solar radiation changing water from a liquid to a gas
Evaporation
Water that is lost through the leaves of plants
Runoff
Water flowing from the surface of the Earth toward bodies of water
Sublimation
Water percolating (filtering through) from the surface through the soil to aquifers
Infiltration
Water vapor turning back into liquid water
Condensation
ice going directly to water vapor
