Evaporation: Process where liquid water transforms into vapor, contributing to atmospheric moisture.
Condensation: Occurs when water vapor cools and transforms back into liquid, forming clouds.
Precipitation: All forms of water (rain, snow, sleet, hail) that fall from clouds and reach the Earth's surface.
Surface Runoff: Water that drains over the land surface, eventually flowing into lakes, rivers, or oceans.
Infiltration: The movement of water from the surface into the soil, crucial for replenishing groundwater reserves.
Transpiration: The release of water vapor from plant leaves into the atmosphere, a vital part of the water cycle.
