Hydrological Cycle Hydrological cycle is the process that involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-atmosphere system. The hydrologic cycle is a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere‚ atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ and the hydrosphere. Water on our planet can be stored in any one of the following major reservoirs: atmosphere‚ oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ soils‚ glaciers‚ snowfields‚ and groundwater. Water moves from one reservoir to another by

The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water cycle describes the movement of water on‚ above and below the surface of Earth. Water can change states through the stages of the water cycle. Water can change from a solid to a liquid to water vapor in various places of the water cycle. Water moves from one lake to another‚ just like from an ocean to the atmosphere. Water travels by different processes of evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ infiltration‚ runoff and subsurface

(title) In 1978‚ Professor Lyn Miles at the University of Tennessee wanted to contribute to science by teaching an orangutan how to communicate through sign language. A biomedical and behavioral research institute‚ Yerkes Regional Primate Centre‚ agreed to loan Professor Miles a 9 month old orangutan‚ Chantek. Miles took Chantek to a trailer where he would be raised and where she could carefully replicate the behavior of Chantek’s mother. She went out of her way to make Chantek feel comfortable around

The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have an enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Conversion of N2 The conversion of nitrogen (N2) from the atmosphere into a form readily available

Water is continuously being recycled in a process called the water cycle. All living things on earth need water to survive. The water cycle has no starting point and no end point. Earth’s water is always in movement and always changing forms‚ it can go from a liquid to a solid to a gas and back to a liquid. The water cycle is how we track movement of water above‚ in and on the earth. The water cycle consists of three major processes‚ condensation‚ evaporation and precipitation. Condensation is the

demonstrate that the product of a chemical reaction depends on what is present at the time of that reaction. This lab also displays how matter cannot be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a lab‚ you must always make safety a priority in case of an emergency. In our lab‚ we made sure to wear closed-toed shoes as well as goggles at all times. We also performed part of our experiment in a fume hood in order to protect ourselves from any potentially dangerous fumes. We made sure not to touch
