- water cycle
- continuous movement of water through the earth system
- condensation
- what step of the water cycle is it when the air cools and therefore becomes smaller, forcing the water vapor to condense?
- cold
- what condition of (e.g. warm, cold) water is carried away from the poles and to the equator?
- cools
- condensation takes place when the air_____
- precipitation
- what step in the water cycle is it when water droplets or ice particles bump together to become larger, and then fall to the ground?
- wind
- air moving parallel to the ground
- the uneven heating of earth's surface
- what causes winds to blow?
- mild
- areas along coasts usually have _____er temperatures than inland areas
- pull water up from the ground through their roots, then release it
- what do plants do in the water cycle?
- evaporation, condensation, precipitation
- what are the three steps in the water cycle? (in order of which they come, separated by commas, no "and")
