Runoff causes salt in lakes. When the water runs over a surface it can pick up particles and salt may be one of this particles. When the water arrives at the lake, if salt particles are small enough, they may not be deposited at the bottom of the lake causing them to stay mixed in with the water.

Humidity is caused by water vapor mixing with the air. The more water vapor, the higher the humidity.


What part of the water cycle is shown on a map by arrows pointing up?

Evaporation is the part of the water cycle shown on a map by arrows pointing up. This is when water on the Earth's surface, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, heats up and turns into water vapor that rises into the atmosphere.


Is water vapour a part of the water cycle?

Yes - after water evaporates from the ocean, lakes, and other bodies of water and before it condenses to form clouds, it is in vapor form.


When water gathers in lakes sea oceans?

Due to gravity, water will always flow to the lowest level. Therefore, as part of the water cycle, rain will flow downhill and eventually reach the sea. The rain will also top-up the ground water-table, and fill lakes and reservoirs.


Water moves from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere in a water cycle?

Water evaporates from bodies of water, like the ocean or lakes, into the atmosphere. This water vapor then condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds. Eventually, the water falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation, completing the water cycle.


What gas in our atmosphere that causes humidity?

Water vapour. Or steam which is the gas state of water. Evaporation of water from the surfaces of rivers, lakes and mainly the oceans, an important part of the water cycle on Earth.


What does atmosphere and hydrosphere have in common?

Both spheres are part of the water cycle e.g evaporation from oceans/lakes and condensation into clouds which falls as precipitation. Both spheres are also part of the carbon cycle; oceans/lakes are carbon dioxide sinks which help to keep atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at approx 0.04%.


How is showering part of the water cycle?

Showering is part of the water cycle because it involves water and when you shower if the water is hot, you will see percipitation on your mirror(s) and persipitation is part of the water cycle. After the water from your mirror evaporates (eveaporation is also part of the water cycle) it "disolves" into the air or in the water cycle's "case" into the atmosphere.
