WATER CYCLE

WHAT IS THE WATER CYCLE

HOW DOES WATER CHANGE STATE?

• Liquid-gas:evaporation
• Liquid-soild:freezing
• Gas-liquid:precipitation
• soild-liquid:melting
• Soild-gas:sublimation Gas-soild:deposition

HOW DOES WATER REACH ATMOSPHERE?

• Evaporation: water turns liquid to gas.
• Transpiartion: when plants release water into enviornment.
• Sublimation: Frozen water turn to gas directly.

WHAT HAPPENS TO WATER IN THE ATMOSPHERE

• Condensation: the change of state from a gas to a liquid.
• Condensation occurs if the air that countains water vapor is cooled enough
• Precipitation: any form of water that falls to the earth from a cloud .
• 3 Common kinds of precipitation are rain , snow , hail .
• Precipitation occurs when water droplets collide and stick together to become larger in cloud

HOW DOES WATER MOVE ON LAND AMD IN THE OCEANS?

• All of water on land that flows from high to low because of gravity is called a "runoff"
• Water on land seeps into the ground , the process is called "infiltration"
• When gravity causes glaciers to flow downhill , and flow to the ocean is called ice flow
• Winds move ocean water in great currents, sometimes it will sink deep into the occean , it's called ocean circulation

WHAT DOES THR WATER TRANSPORT

• Water transports energy and matter .
• The movement of energy can create hurricanes.
• It can also make cold ocean currents .
• The watter from rivers can tranport large amount of sand, mud, and gravel.
