2. The Water Cycle

3. Hydrosphere
The Hydrosphere is the portion of the Earth that is composed of water
Water covers over 70% of Earth’s surface
Of this 70%:
97% is Ocean water
3% is fresh water

4. Water Cycle
The water cycle is the movement of water between the oceans, atmosphere, and the solid Earth

5. Evaporation
Evaporation is the process where a liquid is converted into a gas
Surface water is heated  Turns into a gas  Goes into the atmosphere
Transpiration-Water evaporating from a plant

6. Condensation
Condensation is the process where a gas turns into a liquid
Occurs in the atmosphere where water vapor evaporated off the surface cools

7. Precipitation
When enough water vapor in the atmosphere condenses it falls back down to Earth in the form of rain or snow.
This is precipitation

8. Runoff/Infiltration
When water returns to the surface of the Earth it can do one of 2 things
Infiltration-Water seeps down into the ground through the soil
Runoff-Water runs along the surface of the Earth until it enters another body of water
