which seasons does precipitation not happen a lot?
summer and fall.
what is weather?
weather is different seasons and different temperature at different times of the year.
is the water you drink today the same water from millions of years ago?
yes.
Which energy driver makes water infiltrate?
Gravity is the energy driver that pulls water down underground.
What makes evaporation quicker?
The sun.
when precipitation falls from the sky when its 30 degrees what is it most likely to fall from the sky?
snow.
what happens when it doesn't rain for a period of time?
a drought.
If you lived deep underground could the water cycle happen underground?
No because water can't evaporate underground.
If infiltration can't happen what will happen?
The place your at will most likely flood.
If its dark does evaporation happen?
yes but it happens slower.
What happens when it precipitates for a week?
