Key Terms

Climate Variability
Natural fluctuations in climate patterns over time.

Example: El Niño is a form of climate variability.

Water Cycle
The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.

Example: Water evaporates from oceans, forms clouds, and returns as rain.

Drought
A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall.

Example: The 1930s Dust Bowl was a severe drought in the U.S.

Flooding
An overflow of water onto normally dry land.

Example: Heavy rains can cause rivers to flood their banks.

Evaporation
The process of turning liquid water into vapor.

Example: Water from lakes evaporates into the atmosphere.

Precipitation
Any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere.

Example: Rain, snow, and sleet are types of precipitation.
