| Intro: The Five Key Components in the Hydrologic Cycle are Precipitation, Runoff, Condensation, Evapotranspiration, and Infiltration, |
Definitions: Precipitation: Rain, snow, or hail, all of which are formed by condensation of the moisture in the atmosphere and fall to the ground. |

| Runoff:Rainfall that does not soak into the soil, but flows into the surface Dummy Definition Of Runoff: When rain slides off land into a body of water |
| Condensation:Tiny drops of water that forms on a cold surface. Dummy Definition of Condensation: The water on a car window early in the morning. |
| Evapotranspiration:The return of moisture to the air through both evaporation from the water and transpiration of plants. |
| Infiltration:The process of precipitation seeping into the ground. Dummy Definition of Infiltration: When water goes underground. |
| Dummy Definition of Evapotranspiration: Combination of water turning into gas and a plant losing water from its surface. |
| Dummy Definition of Precipitation: When water falls from the sky |
