I. The Hydrosphere Constant movement of water through the atmosphere, lithosphere and biosphere powered by the sun. Water Cycle
a) evaporation b) precipitation II. Parts of the Water Cycle converting liquid water to a vapor (gas). Uses energy from the sun. Any form of water that falls from a cloud. a) evaporation b) precipitation
What might cause more runoff to occur in an area? The movement of water into rock or soil through cracks, pores or spaces. c) Infiltration d) Run-off Water that flows over the land. (streams) What might cause more runoff to occur in an area?
e) Transpiration Glaciers and Ice the release of absorbed water by plants into the atmosphere. e) Transpiration If water doesn’t precipitate, evaporate, infiltrate, runoff or undergo transpiration, where might it go or be found? Glaciers and Ice
f) Condensation water vapor (gas) turning into liquid water forms clouds Liquid condense around a solid particle called a condensation nuclei. (piece of dust, dirt, organic matter floating in the air) Clouds are filled with millions of these tiny water droplets.
Evaporation = Precipitation III. Balance in the Water Cycle Which two parts of the water cycle do you think should be in Dynamic Equilibrium? Evaporation = Precipitation More precipitation = Floods More evaporation = Drought
