 HYDROLOGIC CYCLE?
IS THE CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT
 

OF WATER BETWEEN THE EARTH

AND THE ATMOSPHERE.
 WATER
• THE WATER IS A CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE WITH
THE FORMULA H2O.
• THE WATER IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR LIFE,
BECAUSE IT IS VITAL. THE ANIMALS OR
HUMANS DRINK WATER BECAUSE THE BODY
NEEDS 75% WATER TO DO EXERCISE FOR
EXAMPLE: WALK
• WATER COVERS 70% OF THE EARTH. LIKE TWO
THIRDS PARTS OF THE EARTH.

1. EVAPORATION -  IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH
WATER CHANGES FROM A LIQUID TO A GAS OR
VAPOR.

2. TRANSPIRATION - IS THE PROCESS OF WATER

MOVEMENT THROUGH A PLANT AND ITS
EVAPORATION FROM AERIAL PARTS, SUCH AS
LEAVES, STEMS AND FLOWERS.

3. SUBLIMATION - IS THE TRANSITION OF A

SUBSTANCE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOLID TO THE
GAS PHASE, WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE
INTERMEDIATE LIQUID PHASE. BACK
4. CONDENSATION - THE CONVERSION OF A VAPOR
OR GAS TO A LIQUID.

5. TRANSPORTATION - IS THE MOVEMENT OF

WATER THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE, SPECIFICALLY
FROM OVER THE OCEANS TO OVER LAND.

6. PRECIPITATION - HAS TO DO WITH THINGS

FALLING DOWN, AND NOT JUST FROM THE SKY.
RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, OR HAIL.

7. DEPOSITION - OCCURS WHEN WATER VAPOUR CHANGES STATE
DIRECTLY FROM A GAS TO A SOLID.
8. INFILTRATION - IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH WATER ON THE
GROUND SURFACE ENTERS THE SOIL.
•PERCOLATION - IS THE PROCESS OF A LIQUID SLOWLY PASSING
THROUGH A FILTER.
9. SNOWMELT RUNOFF - PRODUCED FROM MELTING SNOW.
•SURFACE FLOW - IS THE FLOW OF WATER THAT OCCURS WHEN
EXCESS WATER FLOW OVER THE EARTH'S SURFACE. 
•GROUNDWATER FLOW - SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE SPACES
AND CRACKS BETWEEN THE SOIL PARTICLES ON ITS JOURNEY TO
LOWER ELEVATIONS.

 AN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM IS
AN ECOSYSTEM IN A BODY OF WATER.
COMMUNITIES OF ORGANISMS THAT ARE
DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER AND ON
THEIR ENVIRONMENT LIVE IN AQUATIC
ECOSYSTEMS.

 THE TWO MAIN TYPES
OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS ARE
MARINE ECOSYSTEMS AND
FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS
 TYPES OF FRESHWATER
• LAKES AND PONDS – STILL WATER
• STREAMS AND RIVERS – FLOWING WATER
• WETLANDS – COMBINATION OF LAND AND WATER.

-DISSOLVED OXYGEN IS A
MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT
OF GASEOUS OXYGEN (AS
O2) DISSOLVED IN WATER.
 EUTROPHICATION
EXCESSIVE RICHNESS OF NUTRIENTS IN A
LAKE OR OTHER BODY OF WATER,
FREQUENTLY DUE TO RUNOFF FROM THE
LAND, WHICH CAUSES A DENSE GROWTH
OF PLANT LIFE AND DEATH OF ANIMAL
LIFE FROM LACK OF OXYGEN.
