Water cycle
It starts and never ends
It is a system so it has different parts working together
Water can be store in soil, oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, groundwater, glaciers, ice sheets, streams,
dams, atmosphere, permeable rocks, plants
3% fresh water 97% salty water
We can find the 3% of the fresh water in ice sheets and glaciers 74% and groundwater 25%
And in a little porcentage in lakes rivers soil and the atmosphere
PARTS:
Inputs: things which go into de system( rain- hall- sleet-snow)
Outputs: (vapour) go out of the system
Stores: places where water is collected
Flows: transport of water from a place to another
Transfers: to move water from the land to the athmosphere
PROCESSES:
Evaporation: the sun heats the water changes to vapour and goes to the atmosphere
Transpiration: water is lost from vegetation
Evapotranspiration: all the water lost in earth
Condensation: water vapor cools and form clouds
Precipitation: water that falls into the surface in form of rain, hail, sleet, snow
Interception: water is prevented for falling directly to the surface by trees plants buildings
Run off: water that flows over the surface finding it way into body’s of water
Infiltration: the remainder water that seeps underground downwards
Ground water flow: the remainder water that seeps underground sideways
