-Evaporation: the process of going from liquid to vapor.
-Evapotranspiration: the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants. -Condensation: the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. -Precipitation: Is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. -Infiltration: is the movement of water towards the ground from the surface. -Percolation: is the movement of water through the ground itself and answer 2 questions: What is the difference between Infiltration and Percolation? The terms infiltration and percolation are often used interchangeably, however percolation specifically refers to the movement of water within the soil, while infiltration refers to water entering the soil surface. What is the difference between Evaporation and Evapotranspiration? is that evaporation is the process of converting a liquid to a gaseous state while evapotranspiration is the transfer of water from the earth's surface to the atmosphere by evaporation, sublimation and transpiration.
