Precipitation (water coming down as rain), infiltration (starting to enter the soil), percolation(downword flow to ground water due to gravity), ground water (can be absorbed by plants when goind down and fills up pores and spaces between by ground rocks and is stored as ground water), surface runoff the rainwater slides off the soil ad goes to river and streams), evaporation(water gains heat and evaportes due to the sun and forms into water vapour), transpiration(the tiny water droplets or mist released by trees and turning back into rainwater), condensation(water vapour loses heat and condenses to form water dropletswgich are then made into rain water)
