  3. Water that evaporates from any part of plants/vegetation
    Transpiration
  4. This does not decompose well in nature, like plastic
    Inorganic Waste
  5. This word refers to environmental conditions that change from day to day
    Weather
  6. A human activity that can play a role in ice melting
    Deforestation
  7. The process of a gas turning into a liquid because of the loss of thermal energy
    Condensation
  8. This is a place where water collects and drains into a common body of water
    Watershed
  9. When a gas immediately turns into a solid
    Deposition
  10. This word refers to the average weather conditions over a period of at least 30 years.
    Climate
  11. A process in water treatment where clumps of dirt are formed and mixed to stick to each other
    Flocculation
  12. The general term for water in the ground
    Groundwater
  13. This refers to a group of natural or man-made parts that work together to move, store, and clean water
    Water System
  14. Watering crops using pipes/sprinklers.
    Irrigation
  15. 1st step in cleaning dirty water. It's when chemicals are added that cause dirt particles to stick together
    Coagulation
  16. The process of water soaking into the ground
    Infiltration
  17. Water that flows over the land’s surface instead of being absorbed into the ground
    Runoff
  18. This term refers to the amount of heat needed to make something warmer
