Feedback

1

Evaporation is liquid to gas due to heat. Condensation is gas to liquid, Precipitation is rain/snow, Infiltration is water seeping into soil.

2

Condensation is gas to liquid forming droplets; evaporation is liquid to gas, precipitation is water falling, transpiration is plant moisture release.

3

Precipitation includes rain, snow, sleet, hail reaching the surface.

4

Transpiration is plant water loss from leaves; evaporation is from surfaces, condensation is cloud formation.

5

Infiltration is water entering soil. Runoff is surface flow, collection is gathering water, precipitation is atmospheric.

6

Runoff travels across the surface; infiltration goes into soil, condensation cools vapor, evaporation rises to air.

7

Collection is gathering bodies of water; evaporation leaves the surface, transpiration is plant loss, condensation forms clouds.

8

Sunlight heat causes evaporation; wind aids it, but sun is the primary driver.

9

Condensation releases heat and forms droplets; evaporation is opposite, precipitation falls as rain.

10

Higher temperature speeds molecular movement; lower temp slows it, humidity reduces evaporation.
