2. define the following terms:

term\tdefinition/des
transpiration
root uptake
evaporation
condensation
precipitation

Explanation:

• Transpiration: The process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere through their leaves.
• Root uptake: The absorption of water and nutrients from the soil by plant roots.
• Evaporation: The change of a liquid (water) to a gas (water - vapor) due to heat energy.
• Condensation: The change of water vapor in the air to liquid water when the air cools.
• Precipitation: Any form of water - such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail - that falls from clouds to the Earth's surface.
