8. Water Budget
A monthly account of what happens to water in a particular location over the course of a year
Income = amount of ____________
Expenses = potential evaporation (evaporation + transpiration)
precipitation

9. Potential Evaporation
Potential Evaporation - How much water can enter the atmosphere
Highest in ________ because the temps are ________

10. Climate and the Water Budget
Arid - ____ = total precipitation is ______ than potential evaporation
dry
less
Less vegetation

11. Climate and the Water Budget
Humid - _______ = total precipitation is ______ than potential evaporation
moist
more
More vegetation

12. Radiation Balance
Gaining the same amount of radiation energy that is given off
Is balanced over long time periods and over the Earth as whole.
If they weren't balance then the Earth would be continually cooling or warming.
Over a short period of time, radiant energy is unequally distributed over the Earth.
