- Q11
flash flood
A sudden, violent flood that occurs within hours or minutes of a storm.
the loss of water from plant leaves released during photosynthesis
The water present beneath Earth's surface
any form of water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface
30s - Q12
evaporation
when an area of land does not receive enough rain to meet its needs over a long period of time.
the loss of water from plant leaves released during photosynthesis
water that seeps into the soil to eventually join ground water
water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
30s - Q13
groundwater
direct transfer of thermal (heat) energy from one substance touching another. The heat absorbed by the surface of the road heats the air above causing it to rise.
The continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
The water present beneath Earth's surface
any form of water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface
30s - Q14
transpiration
water that does not sink in but runs along Earth's surface.
water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
The water present beneath Earth's surface
the loss of water from plant leaves released during photosynthesis
30s - Q15
conduction
any form of water that falls from clouds to Earth's surface
direct transfer of thermal (heat) energy from one substance touching another.
water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
transfer of thermal (heat) energy by the movement of a fluid. Gasses are considered fluids
