Take a quick self-quiz about water. how much do you know about runoff, surface water, the water cycle, infiltration, groundwater, precipitation, evaporation and transpiration?
9. The world’s
water is found

everywhere
and is in

motion.
The world’s water is found in oceans,
rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, icebergs,
fjords, and in the atmosphere as clouds

Freezing rain can melt just as it hits the surface, but sometimes
it remains frozen and forms balls of ice as it falls through the
clouds. Hail lands on the ground as millions of round ice balls
and can be very small to bigger than a baseball.
