Explanation:

1. Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. It occurs when water is heated, such as by the sun's energy, causing the water - molecules to gain enough energy to break free from the liquid surface.
2. Clouds form when water vapor in the air cools and condenses around tiny particles called condensation nuclei (like dust or salt). As more water vapor condenses, the droplets or ice crystals combine to form clouds.
3. An example of condensation is when water droplets form on the outside of a cold glass on a warm day. The warm, moist air around the glass cools when it comes in contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.
4. Three forms of precipitation are rain (liquid water falling from clouds), snow (frozen water crystals falling), and hail (balls of ice that form in thunderstorms).
5. Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere through their leaves. Plants take up water from the soil through their roots and transport it to the leaves, where it is released as water vapor during photosynthesis.
6. Sublimation is the process by which a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state. In the water - cycle context, it can occur when ice (solid water) in cold, dry air changes directly to water vapor.
7. The main reservoir for the hydrologic cycle is the ocean. The ocean contains a vast amount of water and is the source of much of the water vapor that enters the atmosphere through evaporation.
8. An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock or sediment that can store and transmit water.
9. Groundwater is water that exists underground in soil pores and fractures in rocks.
10. The water table is the upper surface of the saturated zone of groundwater.
11. The saturated zone below the water table is where all the pores in the soil or rock are filled with water. The unsaturated zone above the water table has pores that contain both air and water.
12. Any area where groundwater flows out onto the surface is called a spring.
13. The amount of groundwater used by farms can vary greatly depending on many factors such as the type of crops, climate, and irrigation methods. Without specific data from the video, a general answer cannot be given precisely.
14. The main steps of the water cycle are: evaporation (water changes from liquid to vapor), condensation (vapor changes to liquid or ice), precipitation (liquid or solid water falls from clouds), infiltration (water seeps into the ground), and runoff (water flows over the land surface back to bodies of water like rivers and lakes).

Answer:

1. The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor.
2. Water vapor in the air cools and condenses around condensation nuclei.
3. Water droplets forming on the outside of a cold glass on a warm day.
