Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A water researcher, William Waterway Marks, said the
latest theories about "the latest definition of the water cycle on Earth". It was stated
at the "International Symposium on Aqua Science, Water Resources and the Arts",
November 2011 four years ago.
According to William Waterways, the old definition of the water cycle on Earth
was first noted by Bernard Palissy, 430 years ago.
The old definition only covers one third of the earth's water cycle, and does not
describe the latest scientific research.
The latest definitions to the water cycle, now called the "Waterway Cycle" or
"Cycle Waterway" to distinguish the old definition.
This definition illustrates scientific research, and most importantly, put three
interrelated cycles known as "Cosmic Water Cycle (water in the cosmic cycle)", "the
Atmospheric Water Cycle (water cycle in the atmosphere)" and "the Oceanic Water
Cycle (cycle in the ocean) ".
Three of the earth's water cycle are interrelated in terms of the change of water on
earth.
Ocean water cycle
Water cycle in the oceans (oceanic water cycle) is a cycle that occurs in the oceans
where sea water is continuously recycled in a way absorbed into the earth and then
reissued.
According to scientific research, the whole sea water in the world is experiencing a
cycle of recycling. Earth is estimated to have sea water completely new every 7
million years.
In the ocean there are ocean currents from top to bottom, then the movement of
the earth's plates tectonics.
Furthermore, from the movement of the earth's plates cause the appearance of a
subduction zone. In the subduction zone is filled and impregnated with water.
The heat from deep within the earth that moves the water cycle in the ocean. The
water that seeped in subduction zones will be heated when met with heat from deep
within the earth. Then the "very hot water" will come out in volcanoes, the eruption
of lava, or hot springs. These events do not just happen volcanoes are in the sea, but
also who are in the continent. For the water that comes out in volcanoes on land,
then the velocity of the water will be related to the water cycle in the atmosphere.
Theory of cycles in the ocean is a relatively new science, because it is based on the
development of the science of plate tectonics newly discovered around 45-50 years.
According to William, the water cycle in the oceans play an important role in the
diversity of living things on this earth. In fact, perhaps the absence of water cycle in
the ocean there would be no life on earth.
Atmospheric water cycle
Water cycle in the atmosphere (the Atmospheric water cycle) is a cycle that occurs
due to heating by the sun to the earth.
This atmospheric water cycle which is the old definition of the water cycle. The
presence of sunlight that falls on the earth causing the evaporation of water, water
condensation, precipitation or rainfall, surface water trip, traveling water in the soil.
Atmospheric water cycle is related to the water cycle in the ocean, when the water
collected in the oceans.
Cosmic water cycle
Water in the cosmic cycle is a cycle that occurs between the earth by the space.
When viewing a photo of the earth, the earth looks a blue aura that is directly
adjacent to the space. It is a blanket earth contained in the Earth's atmosphere.
Blanket the earth's atmosphere in addition to functioning withstand sunlight and
protect from the entry of space objects, it also plays a role in the water cycle in the
cosmic.
The earth's atmosphere contains water vapor. Water vapor is released into space
due to the warming rays of the sun. According to estimates by researchers, that the
water that is released into space since this earth there are about 0.2 percent of the
amount of water in the oceans.
In addition to the earth to release water into space, it also receives water from the
earth space objects.
Never imagined celestial bodies such as meteorites found to contain water.
Based on scientific studies of meteorites that fell in Texas, in 1999. As a result, the
meteorite turned out to contain the water.
Besides meteorites also contain a nucleus that contains substances that contribute
to life such as amino acids.
Comet or comet, the tail turns releasing water vapor in outer space. Comets seem
to have tails, because the comet is affected by warming "solar wind". Then the tail
was visible because the sun to capture the dust particles, which turned out to
contain water vapor.
Researchers estimate the earth to get moisture from the comet dust particles
around 100,000 billion annually.
What is the use of the earth getting dust particles of the space objects?
Rain is happening on earth, containing the nucleus which is useful for the life of
creatures on earth.
In the study in 2011, found that the chemical elements of water from comets, have
the same chemical elements contained in sea water.
This means that dust particles from space objects have an important role for life
on earth.
