The Water Cycle

Flussdiagrammknoten

• Sea Png Hd Sea Png Clipart 4521 (binary/octet-stream)

• 1. Evaporation Water at surface turns into water vapours via heat energy from sun, moving it from hydrosphere to atmosphere

• Clouds Png Transparent (binary/octet-stream)

• 2. Condensation Water vapour rises into atmosphere. The high altitude changes vapour into particles of ice/water forming clouds

• Rain Png13456 (binary/octet-stream)

• Clouds Png Transparent (binary/octet-stream)

• 3. Sublimination The process of snow and ice changing into water vapour without melting into water

• 4. Precipitation Clouds pour down as precipitation due to temp. or wind change. Does this because clouds cannot hold any more water. Water droplets combine to make larger droplets

• 5. Transpiration Some water absorbed by soil. Water, soil, plant roots, stem, leaves -> evaporation

• 6. Infiltration Water that doesnt runoff or is evaporated is absorbed deep into the soil and is purified to form groundwater

• 7. Runoff Pours down in water form off surface of earth. Displaces soil and moves minerals and water enters hydrosphere
