Water: the source of life Water is an indefinable element. It can be destructible and wipe out the strongest forces in the world while it was also the beginning of life. It gives a lot but it can take back more than that. Water is one of the four elements of nature. It’s represented in the liquid form while earth is sold‚ air is gas and fire is the in-between of all. Water is important to every living thing. For plants it’s absorbed from the soil‚ for humans it’s for drinking and use for various

WATER CYCLE Water Cycle‚ also known as hydrologic cycle‚ is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth ’s supply of water. This is important because humans‚ animals‚ and plants all need water to survive. It is controlled by the sun‚ which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world ’s oceans‚ lakes‚ etc. to warm and evaporate. As the water is heated‚ it changes its phase from liquid to gas. This gas is called water vapor and this process is called

thank god for keeping me calm with all the stress I had. Abstract The purpose of my project is to explain the processes of the water cycle‚ explain what it is‚ and to show the process of evaporation and what happens during this process.my procedure consist of placing the small container in the middle of the large ‚ clear bowl. Fill the bowl with a little water‚ being careful not to fill the small container inside. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap‚ and fasten the plastic wrap around the rim

The earth has a limited amount of water.That water keeps going around and around and around in what we call the "Water cycle".It is the only way that Earth can be continually supplied with fresh water.The sun is the most important part of renewing our water supply.It can be solid (ice)‚a liquid (water)‚ or gas (water vapor). Water on earth is always changing. How do these changes happen? It is made up of a few main parts:evaporation (and transpiration)‚condensation and precipitation. Evaporation

temperature. This is the variable volume reheat approach. Approaches to Humidity Control Humidity control in a conditioned space is done by controlling the amount of water vapor present in the air in the space. When relative humidity at the desired temperature set-point is too high‚ dehumidification is required to reduce the amount of water vapor in the air for humidity control. Similarly‚ when relative humidity at the desired

THE WATER CYCLE Introduction: The water around us has been All the water around is has been here for many‚ many years. The reason is because the same water is just around a cycle. There are several steps in this cycle. In my opinion‚ this is a very interesting and fun project to do. Problem: What is the water cycle? Research: Water is vital for every living thing. When the Sun heats‚ it causes the water in the oceans‚ ponds‚ lakes and even puddles in the street to warm and evaporate

average condition of water vapors in atmosphere. Relative humidity has also a physiological significance‚ as it determines the efficiency of the water-evaporating phase of our body cooling mechanism. It is also an important source of all forms of condensation and precipitation‚ where there is little moisture in the air; the precipitation will be low as compared to high atmospheric moisture. As the air is a principal absorber of solar energy and earth radiant energy as well‚ water vapor operates as a heat
