Water Cycle Processes
Catchment evidence

- Downward movement of water through soil or rock
- Lateral movement of water through soil towards a channel
- Water vapour released from plants
- Cooling of water vapour into liquid droplets
- Water entering the soil from the land surface
- Water held temporarily on vegetation before reaching the ground
