Condensation: a gas changing into a liquid.
Gas: water above boiling point
Liquid: water between freezing and boiling
Freezing: water is a solid
Solid: the molecules of water stick together because they have "frozen"
Melt: water is changing from a solid to a liquid
Evaporate: water is changing from a liquid to a gas
Sublimation: water is changing from a solid to a gas
Frost Formation: water changes from gas to a solid
Less Dense: water contracts until it reaches 4C then it expands until it is solid
Triple Point: Earth is a triple point for water because it is found on Earth in all 3 forms
Adhesion: water molecules is attracted to other sorts of molecules
Cohesion: water molecules are attracted to other water molecules
Surface Tension: cohesion of water molecules at the surface of a body of water
Capillary Action: adhesion of water molecules to another object
Transpiration: transfer of water from plants to the atmosphere

That sums up all the definitions of water potential!
