Laboratory Exercise No. 1

Hydrologic Cycle

JERVES M. GERON
Course Instructor
Introduction

The hydrologic cycle is a conceptual model

that describes the storage and movement of
water between the biosphere, atmosphere,
lithosphere, and the hydrosphere
Introduction
The hydrologic cycle begins with the
evaporation of water from the surface of the
ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water
vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is
transported around the globe until it returns to
the surface as precipitation.
Introduction
Once the water reaches the ground, one of
two processes may occur; 1) some of the
water may evaporate back into the
atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the
surface and become groundwater.
Introduction
Groundwater either seeps its way to into the
oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released
back into the atmosphere through
transpiration. The balance of water that
remains on the earth's surface is runoff,
which empties into lakes, rivers and streams
and is carried back to the oceans, where the
cycle begins again.
Objectives
a. Illustrate the hydrologic cycle.
b. Describe the different processes under the
hydrologic cycle.
c. Demonstrate mastery on the sequential order
of the hydrologic cycle processes
d. Understand the importance of hydrologic cycle
on ABE profession and on everyday life.
Methodology
Materials to be used:
Mechanical Pencil / Pencil
Technical Pen / Ballpen
Eraser
Metric Rule
Methodology
Procedure
Using a pencil/pen draw a best representation of the
hydrologic cycle composed of the following processes:
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation (solid
and liquid), infiltration, ground water flow, sublimation,
melting, run-off, evapotranspiration and transport.
Name the different processes on the hydrologic cycle
through a legend (represented by numbers). On the legend
give the full definition of each processes in your own words.
