Perspiration and Transpiration


After going through the deer’s body, we are escaping as sweat. This is called perspiration. We are being reintroduced to the atmosphere as the sweat is evaporation from the animal. Other drops have been absorbed by plants, and are then released as vapor by a process called transpiration. After we condense into a cloud again and precipitate as rain drops from the sky, we are back into the runoff system heading home.
