Water Cycle
Water cycle: The cycle water goes through in order for us to survive.
What fraction of the Earth’s surface is covered in water? 3/4 of the earth.
What percentage of all the Earth’s water is in a form that is useable to humans and land animals? 1%
Evaporation is the process where a liquid changes from its liquid state to a gaseous state.
Why is evaporated water so clean? The excess gets left behind.
Condensation occurs when a gas is changed into a liquid.
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.
When the temperature and atmosphere are right, the small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets and precipitation occurs.
Transpiration: When water evaporates from plants.
Percolation: The purification of water.
Evaporation: When water raises in a gaseous state.
Condensation: When water forms in clouds.
Precipitation: Rainfall.
What factor is most important in determining whether water is a solid, liquid, or gas? Temperature
Is the amount of water on Earth always changing or is it a constant amount? Constant
