THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE

Processes of the Hydrologic Cycle �Evaporation: Process in which liquid water changes into water

Processes of the Hydrologic Cycle �Evaporation: Process in which liquid water changes into water vapor. �During evaporation energy is absorbed by water molecules.

�Condensation: Process in which water vapor changes into liquid water. �During condensation energy is

�Condensation: Process in which water vapor changes into liquid water. �During condensation energy is released by water molecules.

�Precipitation: Process in which water returns or falls to earth’s surface. � Examples are
