Water

Cycle
BY SCARLETT AND VANESSA
What is water
cycle?
A water cycle is the continuous
movement of water as it makes a
circuit from the oceans to the
atmosphere to the Earth and on
again.

The water cycle consists of three

major processes: evaporation,
condensation, and precipitation.
 Examples
of Water Cycle
Evaporation Condensation
Evaporation occurs when Condensation is the
sunlight warms the surface change of water from gas
of the water. The heat from form to liquid form. When
the sun makes the water water vapor in the
molecules move faster until atmosphere loses heat and
they escape as a gas. cools down, condensation
Once evaporated, a happens. It attaches to
molecule of water vapor small particles of dust and
spends about ten days in formed tiny liquid water
the air. droplets.
Precipitation
Precipitation is water
released from clouds in the
form of rain, freezing rain,
sleet, snow, or hail. It is the
primary connection in the
water cycle that provides
for the delivery of
atmospheric water to the
Earth.
What affects
water cycle?
The main factors affecting evaporation
are temperature, humidity, wind speed,
and solar radiation. The direct
measurement of evaporation, though
desirable, is difficult and possible only at
point locations. The principal source of
water vapour is the oceans, but
evaporation also occurs in soils, snow,
and ice.
What would happen
when water cycle is
distrupted?
The water cycle brings water to everywhere Fortunately, we can help the water cycle
on land, and is the reason that we have rain, transition by planting more plants and trees in
snow, streams, and all other kinds of our neighborhood because the plants soak up
precipitation. Stopping it would cause an much of the storm water.
endless drought. No water flow in lakes would
cause overgrowth, killing many species of fish
and other lake wildlife.
