Water Cycle or Hydrologic Cycle, series of movements of water above, on, and below the surface of the earth.

Su dngs veya Hidrolojik dng, havann yerden ykselerek younlap tekrar aa inmesiyle gerekleir. Su dngs depolama, buharlama, kme ve dalma gibi drt ayr safhadan oluur. Belki de su geici olarak yerde, okyanuslarda, gl ve rmaklarda, buzul ve buz tabakalarnda depolanmtr. Yeryznde buharlar, bulutlarda younlar, yamur ya da kar olarak geri dner, son olarak ya denizlere dalr ya da atmosferde tekrar buharlar.

The water cycle consists of four distinct stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff. Water may be stored temporarily in the ground; in oceans, lakes, and rivers; and in ice caps and glaciers. It evaporates from the earths surface, condenses in clouds, falls back to the earth as precipitation (rain or snow), and eventually either runs into the seas or reevaporates into the atmosphere.

Almost all the water on the earth has passed through the water cycle countless times.

Neredeyse yeryzndeki tm su, bu dngden saylamayacak kadar ok gemitir. Milyarlarca yl boyunca ok az (miktar) su aa kar ya da kaybolur.

Very little water has been created or lost over the past billion years.

Enormous volumes of water are involved in the water cycle.

Su dngsnde hacmin muazzam lde byk olmas gerekir.

There are about 1.4 billion cu km (about 340 million cu mi) of water on the earth, enough to cover the United States with water 147 km (92 mi) deep.

Yeryznde Amerikann 147 km derinlii kadar kaplayacak yaklak 1.4 milyar kilometrekp su bulunmaktadr.

Slightly more than 97 percent of this amount is ocean water and is therefore salty.

Bu orann %97sinden biraz fazlas okyanus suyu olduundan tuzludur.

However, because the water that evaporates from the ocean is almost free of salt, the rain and snow that fall on the earth are relatively fresh.

Bununla birlikte okyanusun suyu buharlamadan dolay tuzdan arnm, yere den yamur ve kar ise olduka saftr.

Fresh water is stored in glaciers, lakes, and rivers. It is also stored as groundwater in the soil and rocks. There are about 36 million cu km (about 8.6 million cu mi) of fresh water on the earth. The atmosphere holds about 12,000 cu km (about 2,900 cu mi) of water at any time, while all the worlds rivers and freshwater lakes hold about 120,000 cu km (about 29,000 cu mi).

Saf su buzullarda, gl ve rmaklarda bulunur. Ayn zamanda ta ve toprak ierisinde yer alt suyu olarak depolanmtr. Yeryznde yaklak 36 milyon kilometrekp saf su bulunmaktadr. Dnyadaki tm nehir ve tatlsu glleri yaklak 120.000 kilometrekp su tarken, atmosfer yaklak 12.000 kilometrekp tar.
