Water Cycle

The water cycle or hydrologic cycle describes the movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth. This endless cycle of evaporation, condensation and precipitation brings us fresh water, reshapes the surface of the earth and washes nutrients to new areas. Even the climate is influenced by the heating and cooling effects as water moves through its different phases of solid, liquid and gas.

What role does condensation play in the watercycle?

Condensation is water turning from water vapor (gas) into its liquid form. This happens in rain clouds. Clouds are water vapor and when there is too much vapor or it is cool enough the vapor will condense and it will begin to rain. You can also see condensation in the early morning. This is the dew on the grass or on your car.

hey this is maria condensation is a cycle, condensation is water turning into from water vapor into its liguid form

How is photosynthesis part of the cycling of matter (Carbon and Water Cycle)?

Carbon Cycle: Through photosynthesis, trees, plants and all green vegetation take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
Water Cycle: Water from the earth is taken up by the roots of plants. Through photosynthesis some of this water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is released and the hydrogen becomes part of the carbohydrates which build up the cells of the plants.

What is the Selection process parameter for a life cycle model?

You have to fit into certain diameters depending on the software you are using. Some will allow you more freedom while others are more restrictive.

What effect is the water cycle on humans?

we have to be safe and protect our family.Allways watch the knews for any trouble C:

What layer of the atmosphere does the water cycle take place in?

Stratosphere-The Stratosphere is the second major layer of the Earths atmosphere,just above the troposhere, and the mesosphere. It is stratisfied in temperature, with cooler layers higher up, and warmer layers further down. The border of the troposhere and stratosphere, the tropOPave is marked by where this iversion begins, which in terms of atmospheric thermodynamics is the equilibrium level.

Thermosphere- The thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the earths atmosphere, directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere. Within this layer, Ultraviolet radiation causes ionization. The International Space Station has a stable orbit within the upper paet of the thermosphere, between 320 and 380 kilometers. Auroras also occur in the thermosphere.

Exosphere- The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the Earths atmosphere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space if it is moving fast enough to attain escape velocity; otherwize it will be pulled back to Earth.

Actually, the stratosphere contains clouds, which is a large mass of evaporated water. You may very well call it water. Some may not but it is a form of which infact, proves me correct. The stratosphere is the layer of atmosphere which contains water. Your Welcome.

Can the water cycle occur without living organisms?

The main features water cycle would still exist if there was no life on earth, however the carbon cycle (as we know it) is dependent on life.

What is an urban water cycle?

Urbanization generally means more impermeable surfaces, like concrete. This increases the amount of runoff (rain going to rivers) which means an increase in the amount (and velocity) of discharge.

How does the water cycle relate to temperature?

temperature affects the water cycle because the hotter the more evaporation will happen but the colder the less evaporation will happen.

What drivesthe hydrological cycle?

most of energy comes from the sun. The sun evaporates the earth's water...

How is snow related to the water cycle?

well in the winter instead of rain falling you'll have snow sleet and hail.so that mainly effects where New York is and everything. but floridians don't really have to worry about that just hurricanes and heat

Find out the reasons for lowering of water table of underground water?

the reasons are :

1)over population-increase in population has caused an increase in the amount of water used in agricultural fields, industries and domestic uses

2)sewage- the improper channelising of sewage water also results in an increase in polluted water that cannot be used anymore and so it is also like depletion

What involved in the water cycle?

Water is involved in water cycle. Water travels across different stages.

What part of the water cycle causes water droplets to form on the outside of a cold water bottle?

When the water is warmer, it has a higher vapour pressure making tiny droplets of water (water vapour) more likely form in the air inside the bottle. These droplets will then condense when they make contact with the side of the bottle because it is cooler there.

What would be a conclusion for the water cycle?

The water cycle is the system that go around and over over again.

Where is energy absorbed in the water cycle?

Energy is absorbed into the water cycle primarily through the process of evaporation from water bodies like oceans, lakes, and rivers. The sun's heat provides the energy needed to convert liquid water into water vapor, which then contributes to cloud formation and precipitation in the water cycle.

How does the water cycle help your environment?

We humans really can't affect the water cycle very much.

Even if we pollute the water, fill the oceans with plastic rubbish, throw all our garbage into the rivers, the water cycle continues. Clean water rises into the clouds and the cycle continues.

We still have all the mess we have made with the earth, but the water cycle keeps on, cycling fresh clean water down to earth.

What steps in the water cycle can change a liquid into a gas?

"Evaporation" changes a liquid to a gas. Energy (from the sun... or the burner on your stove) heats up the water, speeding up the movement of the molecules until they bounce so far apart that they become a gas and "evaporate" into the air.

"Condensation" happens when the temperature of the moist air (containing evaporated water) cools, making water molecules to stick to whatever they can find (like dust... or the outside of a cold glass). Condensation makes a cloud. Once enough condensation has happened and the droplets of liquid water are heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain or "precipitation".

How many lakes in Texas in 1930?

There is 200 lakes in Texas and they are formed when rivers were dam(:

Where does energy earth water cycle comes from?

Water from various sources like snow melt and rain flows downhill to eventually pour into the ocean. During the downhill flow, the water hits a dam and cannot flow any farther until it is deep enough to reach the dam's spillways. Meanwhile, a large amount of that water behind the dam flows down deep into the base of the dam where it fed by huge pipes into electrical turbines. That water then flows into the river that comes over and through the dam.

Meanwhile, the electricity that is generated by those turbines is fed at high voltage into huge powerlines that take the electricity to where it is needed.

How are precipitation evaporation and ground water involved with the water cycle?

It returns atmospheric water back to the ground. Without precipitation there would be no water cycle, all the water would run down the rivers and into the seas then the rivers would dry up with no fresh water from precipitation.

Is glaciers included in the water cycle?

The way in which glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle is by being able to hold a lot of frozen water. They also relate to the rock cycle in that they cause major erosion.

What are the sequence of events to the water cycle during the water cycle?

Evaporate from plants/ animals/ water. Turns into water vapor. Then condensesand turns into water drplets. and precipitates when the cloud gets too heavy. Runs off to water or drunken by animals or sucked by plants

What is the processes that occur in the water cycle?

Water is evaporated by the sun, then the water vapor rises through the atmosphere. Then when water vapor starts to cool down they become water droplets that forms the clouds. Commonly some believe that when clouds are getting heavy it will rain, this may be true but its actually more complex. The water droplets in the clouds, wait until condensation gradient arrive (like dust and small stones). They become heavy and fall back to earth. Then the cycle repeats itself over and over again.
