water cycle

water cycle

continual movement of water through its three forms of solid,

liquid, and gas.

Water cycle

• The processes that cause water to change form are evaporation and condensation, which take place in, on, and above the Earth.

• The water cycle is driven by heat from the sun.

•  Also known as the hydrologic cycle,

Water cycle

• sun provides what almost everything on Earth needs —energy, or heat.

• Heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds...clouds that move over the globe and drop rain and snow.

Multiple Choice

The water cycle is also known as?

• movement of water through its three forms of solid,

  liquid, and gas

• hydrologic cycle

• water cycle

Multiple Choice

The water cycle is?

• rain, sleet, hail or snow

• when a liquid changes into a vapor or gas

  transpiration

• movement of water through its three forms of solid,

  liquid, and gas

Multiple Choice

What is the water cycle driven by the

• sun

• air

• heat

Evaporation

• First part of the water cycle

• when a liquid changes into a vapor or gas

• Water absorbs heat energy from the sun and turns into vapors. Oceans, seas, the lakes and the river bodies are the main source of evaporation

• Gas form

Condensation

•  process of a gas turning into a liquid

• As the water vapor rises higher and higher, the cool air of the atmosphere causes the water vapor to turn back into liquid water, creating clouds, fog or dew

• 2nd step in the water cycle

Precipitation

• The falling of water from the sky in the form of rain, sleet, hail or snow

• When water droplets get heavy enough, they fall back down to Earth 

• Precipitation brings the water back down to earth and the cycle repeats 

Transpiration

• process by which the plants give off moisture into the atmosphere

  runoff

• Much of the water that returns to Earth as precipitation runs off the surface of the land, and flows down hill into streams, rivers, ponds and lakes.
