Match the steps of the hydrologic cycle to their definition

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