    The water cycle involves water evaporating from Earth's surface into the atmosphere, condensing into liquid water vapor, and falling back to Earth's surface as precipitation in a repeated pattern. This cycle accounts for the movement of water between Earth and the atmosphere, with 97% of the water as salt water and 3% as fresh water, with 76% frozen as ice and 23% readily available in rivers, lakes, streams and underground.

    EARTH SCIENCE 9-1 What is the water cycle?

    Pg2
    OBJ: Trace the steps in the water cycle.

    III. THE WATER CYCLE = water is always changing states.


    How It Works - water evaporates from Earth’s surface
    - in the atmosphere, water vapor condenses to
    a liquid.
    - water falls to Earth as precipitation.
    Water Cycle = repeated pattern of water movement between Earth
    and the atmosphere.
    - aka hydrologic cycle
    - 97% of Earth’s water is salt water
    - 3% fresh water
    - 76% ice
    - 23% is readily available
    - rivers, lakes, streams and below the
    surface
