- Sublimation- ice to gas
- Evaporation- water to gas
- Condensation- gas to water, happens in clouds
- Precipitation- release of water from clouds, can be rain; hail; or snow
- Melting- ice to water, due to heat
- Surface runoff- water flowing over the surface into a BOW, bc of precipitation
- Infiltration- water into the soil
- Groundwater flow- water moving in the soil, from an aquifer to the water
