What is the water cycle?

The water cycle is an endless
cycle that describes the existence
and the movement of water on, in
and above the earth.

It all starts with the water vapor,
the process of changing liquid to
gas then, goes above the
atmosphere.
Water vapor
►
First of all, it all starts in the ocean.
Because of the sun, heats up the
water and turns them into vapor.

Then, the vapor reaches to the
atmosphere and then starts
making rain.

The process is known as
condensation, which means turns
gas to water.

The process when the sun heats
up the water and the formation of
clouds.
Transpiration

The process by which moisture
through plants from roots

Small pores on the underside of
leaves

Changes to vapor

Released to atmosphere

Evaporation of water from plant
leaves

Guttation
Precipitation
►
Water released from clouds
►
The types of precipitation are
snow, rain, hail and sleet
►
Condensed from vapor
►
Formed by ice crystals in very cold
places
►
Pellets of frozen rain from
cumulonimbus clouds
►
Composed of rain and partially
melted snow
Condensation

The process that gas cools down
and forms to liquid.

The process forms the clouds.

The process makes the raindrops.

The process is responsible or
ground-level fog.

In the air, it is very cold and high,
then also makes fog.
Groundwater

Underground water

Cracks and spaces

Drinking water

>50% people drink groundwater in
the United States

Almost everyone lives in rural areas

Irrigate crops

Deep and shallow water table

Heavy rains and melting snow
causes the water table to rise

Water table falls

Important to human life
Surface Runoff

The flow of water that occurs
when excess storm water,
meltwater and other sources flows
over the Earth’s surface.

Occurs when soil reaches full
capacity because rain arrives
more quickly than the soil that can
absorb water

Overland flow occurs in surfaces
before reaching a channel

Runoff on land areas is known as a
watershed
