The water evaporates from all over the world but let’s say it is evaporates from the oceans to form clouds that are moved over land by many of winds. The rainfall then brings it to earth where it will return to oceans by creeks to river, and some lakes then back to the ocean.…
Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. The sun (solar energy) drives evaporation of…
The movement of water among the oceans and our atmosphere, and the movement of fresh water (lakes, rivers, and streams) and our atmosphere make up the water cycle. There are several parts we will consider of the water cycle.…
The Water cycle, also known as the Hydrologic cycle or the H2O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth…

18. Describe the Earth’s water cycle. The Earth’s water cycle is a process of constant renewal. Example: water falls, water vapor, clouds, rain, springs, oceans, rivers, glaciers.…
The article Water Cycle by Jeannie Evers was written on March 26, 2013. The article gives a brief description about the water cycle and how water is exchanged through Earth’s atmosphere, land, and ocean. There is a detailed description of the water cycle processes: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Evaporation is the process where liquid changes into a gas from bodies of water driven by the sun and becomes water vapor. Condensation is the process of gas changes into a liquid.…
The water cycle is the first one i will be talking about. It is a continuous cycle and the water goes from liquid state to a gas state over and over again. It begins in a process called evaporation which is “the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure.” After it goes through evaporation begins to condensate. Condensation is “water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.” Condensation happens on the outside of your drink after it has been sitting for some time. When the water gets too heavy to sit in the clouds any longer it begins to rain,sleet,hail,or even snow. This is the process known as precipitation. Precipitation is “the action or process of precipitating a substance from a…
Majority of Earth’s energy originates from the sun. Coal, oil, biomass, wind, hydropower and natural gas are all results of the suns rays hitting Earth. The sun’s energy can either be absorbed or reflected from Earth. NASA studies show that 29% of the sun’s rays are reflected back into space, however the remaining 71% enters the atmosphere. 23% of that energy remains in the atmosphere while 48% heats the oceans, lakes, land and the lower altitudes. Also, The atmosphere absorbs some of the energy that is emitted from Earth’s surface.…
“The water on earth circulates between sea, land and air, being recycled in a natural process known as the hydrological cycle.” (Geography for CCEA GCSE, K. Clarke Pg.2)…
The sun also heats up the plants and trees. They lose moisture out of their leaves that is called transpiration, it goes into the air. The vapor in the air gets cold and changes back to liquid. This condensation creates clouds. When the clouds get so heavy from the condensation they release precipitation in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. This precipitation falls directly into the ocean and over the land, the water travels over and under the land and heads back to the streams, rivers and the ocean. And since we all need water to survive this is very important. We must take care of what we let get into the ground and our…
Cycles in ecosystem Water is found ● lakes, streams, and oceans ● in the atmosphere as water vapor ● in the soil or porous rock deeper under the surface ● movement of water is between is between the atmosphere, ground, and bodies of water is called the water cycle Water Cycle ● Precipitation cycles water from the atmosphere back to Earth: rain, snow, fog, sleet, ect. ● Evaporation cycles water from earth back to the atmosphere ● Transpiration is the release of water by plants 90% of water from land is returned back to the atmosphere this way. Carbon cycle ● Respiration releases co2 into thew atmosphere ● Combustion also releases…
The hydrologic cycle is the system by which water continuously circulates through the biosphere (p.394-5).…
The water cycle is one of the most or the most important cycle that we have on planet earth. Earth is able to support life because of the plentiful water that it contains. When astronomers search for planets outside of our solar system to see if there is a chance for life on other planets, the first thing that they look for is if the planet contains water. However, humans are starting to affect the way that the water cycle happens by, “We take water out of the system to irrigate crops…” (creditvalley, n.d.). I, unfortunately, also take part in impacting the water cycle as well. However, I am trying to reduce the impact that I leave on the earth’s water cycle. Even though it is fairly difficult to do, I am willing to change.…
Water is a basic necessity for the life forms here on Earth. At a given moment, only about 1/100,000 part of the earth’s supply of water is found in the atmosphere, yet it is this atmospheric water that brings moisture to the surface of the earth and makes it habitable. In the hydrologic cycle, water is constantly being moved from the earth’s surface into the troposphere where it gives rise to clouds and precipitation, thereby bringing the water back to the surface again.…
