Processes
This process is condensed water vapor that falls to the earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, hail, fog drip, and sleet.
What is precipitation?
These two forces power the water cycle.
What is the sun and gravity?
This percent of the total global water distribution is taken up by oceans.
What is 97.%?
The cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
What is the water cycle?
When going from a solid to a liquid, is energy released of absorbed?
absorbed
The variety of ways by which water moves across the land. As it flows, the water may seep into the ground, evaporate into the air, become stored in lakes or reservoirs, or be extracted for agricultural or other human uses.
What is runoff?
True Or False: In the water cycle water moves between land, living things, bodies of water on Earth's surface, and the atmosphere.
What is true?
This percent .625% of the total global water distribution is available for use by human.
What is groundwater?
Water vapor leaving the openings in the leaves of plants is called
Transpiration
When going from a gas to a liquid, is energy released of absorbed?
Released
The transformation of water from liquid to gas phases as it moves from the ground or bodies of water into the overlying atmosphere.
What is evaporation?
True Or False: You can start at any process in the water cycle.
What is true?
Only 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater. About 70% of that water is not available for man's use. Why is this
What is frozen?
What is when solid water changes directly to water vapor without first becoming a liquid.
Sublimation
When going from a liquid to a gas, is energy released of absorbed?
absorbed
The transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air, creating clouds and fog.
What is condensation?
True Or False: There is the same amount of water on earth today, than there was when the dinosaurs were around.
What is true?
This percent of the total global water distribution is taken up by freshwater.
What is 3%?
What are two ways water reaches the atmosphere?
Evaporation, transpiration or sublimation
This process of the water cycle is releasing energy.
What is freezing or condensation?
True Or False: Water is the only thing in the entire world that can be a gas, liquid, and a solid.
What is true?
This percent of the total freshwater distribution is taken up by glaciers and ice caps.
What is 2%?
What happens to water once it reaches Earth surface.
What is infiltration or run-off
This process of the water cycle is absorbing energy.
Transpiration, evaporation or sublimation
