Identification.
Direction: Identify the following process of hydrological cycle. YOUR ANSWER MUST WRITE IN A CAPITAL LETTERS.
(e.g. HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE) (1 pt. each)
6. Water evaporation and transpiration from a surface area to the atmosphere are combined to form it. The
flow of water from sources such as the earth, canopy interception, and water bodies to the air is
accounted for by evaporation. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
7. The movement of water from the surface into the ground known as infiltration. What do you call the
process of water moving through the soil and deep into the groundwater? PERCOLATION
8. It is the transformation of water (a liquid) into water vapor (a gas). Each year, the ocean evaporates
roughly 47 inches (120cm) of water into the sky. EVAPORATION
9. It is water taken directly from the groundwater flow and the moisture content of the soil. Only 1% of the
water drawn up by the plant is utilized by the plant. The other 99 percent is released into the atmosphere.
PLANT UPTAKE
10. It is the transformation of ice and snow (solids) into water vapor (gases) without passing through the
liquid phase. SUBLIMATION
