What is the difference between groundwater and surface runoff?

What is the difference between groundwater and surface runoff?

GROUNDWATER- Water that seeps into the ground (think about watering a flower). Groundwater is stored in tiny holes, or pores, in soil and rocks.

SURFACE RUNOFF-Precipitation that flows across the land’s surface and is not absorbed will flow into rivers.

How do clouds form? How do clouds form?

Clouds form when water vapor EVAPORATES and then CONDENSES into water droplets.

Clouds form when water vapor EVAPORATES and then CONDENSES into water droplets.

How does snow from the top of a mountain one day end up as a cloud?

How does snow from the top of a mountain one day end up as a cloud?

The sun’s energy will melt the snow and the snow will runoff into the ocean and collect or accumulate. The liquid water from the ocean will evaporate and then condense into a cloud.

Explain how hail forms based on this picture.

Hail forms in severe thunderstorm clouds when raindrops in the clouds COLLIDE with bits of ICE. The drops freeze, forming a hailstone. Winds PUSH THE HAILSTONES BACK UP into the cloud and the hailstones grow larger.
