The hydrologic cycle is a constant movement of water above, on, and below the earth's surface. It is a cycle that replenishes ground water supplies. It begins as water vaporizes into the atmosphere from vegetation, soil, lakes, rivers, snowfields and oceans-a process called evapotranspiration.
As the water vapor rises it condenses to form clouds that return water to the land through precipitation: rain, snow, or hail. Precipitation falls on the earth and either percolates into the soil or flows across the ground. Usually it does both. When precipitation percolates into the soil it is called infiltration; when it flows across the ground it is called surface runoff. The amount of precipitation that infiltrates, versus the amount that flows across the surface, varies depending on factors such as the amount of water already in the soil, soil composition, vegetation cover and degree of slope.
What else can I help you with?
What moves water besides currents and electric charge?
gravity, water pressure, air pressure, buckets, etc.
In which direction does water move in a solution when there is a difference in osmotic pressure, from low to high?
In a solution with a difference in osmotic pressure, water moves from an area of low osmotic pressure to an area of high osmotic pressure.
When water moves from large pipe to small size pipe then what will be the pressure?
The pressure will rise, but you haven't given us anyvolume or pressure figures to begin with .
What is a force that moves water into a space where a solute is more concentrated?
Osmotic Pressure
Does a fish lose ions as it moves from fresh water to salt water?
Yes, as a fish moves ,from saltwater to freshwater, the concentrations of salt ions drops as freshwater enters the body via osmotic pressure.
Why is a ping pong ball pulled toward running water?
Running water moves the air next to it. Moving air has less pressure than air that is still. This is the Bernoulli principle, and helps airplanes to fly. With less pressure on one side from moving air, and more pressure on the other side from still air, the ping-pong ball moves towards the water.
Why is wind speed and air pressure affected by the surface a hurricane moves?
Wind speed and air pressure in a hurricane are influenced by the surface it moves over due to friction and heat exchange. When a hurricane moves over warm water, it gains energy, increasing wind speeds and lowering air pressure. Conversely, if it moves over land or cooler water, the lack of heat and increased friction can weaken the storm, reducing wind speeds and raising air pressure. The surface characteristics, such as roughness and temperature, thus play a crucial role in the hurricane's intensity and behavior.
Water moves into phloem by?
Water moves into phloem primarily through the process of osmosis, where it travels from areas of high water concentration to low water concentration. This movement helps create the pressure that drives the flow of nutrients and other substances through the phloem tissue.
Does wind occur as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure?
Yes, wind occurs as air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air naturally moves from high pressure to low pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure imbalances.
When Air moves out of the lungs the pressure inside the lungs is?
when air moves out of the lungs, the air pressure decreases
What is the movement of a liquid into a solution of high concentration?
water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration in a cell
Why does a hurricane reach its lowest pressure over water?
Warm ocean water is the source of power for a hurricane. If a hurricane moves over land it will be cut off from that power source, causing the storm to weaken and the pressure to rise.
