Of the many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Although the total amount of water within the cycle remains essentially constant, its distribution among the various processes is continually changing.

Some of it seeps into the ground to refresh groundwater, but most of it flows down gradient as surface runoff. Runoff is an intricate part of the natural water cycle.]]> 2020-05-27 07:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596266932 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596268574 2020-05-27 07:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596268574 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596280648 2020-05-27 07:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596280648 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596281207 Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. It is commonly used in both hydrology and soil sciences. The infiltration capacity is defined as the maximum rate of infiltration.]]> 2020-05-27 07:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596281207 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596363409 1.evapotranspiration

Finally, as the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches ground water, which is water below the surface. The upper surface of this underground water is called the "water table".]]> 2020-05-27 08:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596372067 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596372461 2020-05-27 08:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596372461 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596377631 The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.]]> 2020-05-27 08:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596377631 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596379128 2020-05-27 08:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596379128 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596383730 2020-05-27 08:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596383730 sibisharan2000 https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596386150 The air is full of water, even if you can't see it. Higher in the sky where it is colder than at the land surface, invisible water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets—clouds. When the cloud droplets combine to form heavier cloud drops which can no longer "float" in the surrounding air, it can start to rain, snow, and hail... all forms of precipitation, the superhighway moving water from the sky to the Earth's surface.]]> 2020-05-27 08:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sibisharan2000/cx8qx0fmxnjxodt8/wish/596386150
