hydrologic cycle		Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
condensation		The removal of trees faster than forests can replace themselves.
transpiration		Precipitation falls on the windward side of a mountain range, resulting in lush vegetation and a warm, moist climate on one side of the mountain, but a desert area on the far side.
infiltration		the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
deforestation		water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
evaporation		Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface; examples include rain, snow, sleet, and hail
precipitation		minute-by-minute changes in the atmosphere
runoff		what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area
rain shadow effect		elevation; height above sea level
climate		distance north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees
weather		the change of state in a substance from a liquid to a gas
latitude		A warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico northward through the Atlantic Ocean
altitude		the process in which water vapor in the atmosphere is changed into a liquid state. In the atmosphere, this may appear as clouds or dew.
Gulf Stream		the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-Atmosphere system; also known as the water cycle
