Explain the relation
Explain how the sun is connected to Evaporation.
The sun heats up the water with solar radiation and creates vapor that goes up
What is the definition of Runoff
What is the process called when water remains in the same place for an amount of time?
Accumulation\Collection
What is the definition of Vapor
Water in the form of gas
What part of the water cycle are humans affecting for deforestation and cutting down plants and trees to happen
Transpiration
Explain how water from the ocean is connected to the Atmosphere.
The sun heats the water and turns into vapor that goes into the atmosphere
What is the definition of Infiltration
The flow of water going from above the Earths surface to below the surface
What are solid, liquid, gas, and sometimes plasma are called?
States of matter
What is the definition of Groundwater
Accumulated water underground in the soil or in pores within the rocks
What part of the water cycle are humans affecting by releasing greenhouse gasses like fossil fuel which create global warming.
The Atmopshere
Explain how infiltration goes is connected to Groundwater
Water infiltrates into the soil and moves down going through percolation into deeper soil layers
What is the definition of Transpiration
The evaporation of water through the leaves of plants
What is the process of evaporation through the leaves of plants called?
Transpiration
What is the definition of Precipitation
When liquid or solid water falls from the sky due to gravity
What part of the water cycle are humans affecting by releasing waste disposal and overusing it through pumping water, which leads to aquifer depletion
Groundwater
Explain how evaporation is connected to Condensation
Water vapor changes back into water
What is the definition of Percolation
Liquid water that flows underground due to gravity
What is the process of a liquid changing to a solid state called?
What is the definition of Atmosphere
The layer of gases that surrounds the earth, held in place by gravity.
What part of the water cycle are humans affecting by building things where water can't infiltrate through the ground like pavement
Infiltration
Explain how runoff is connected to Transpiration.
Water runs off a mountain and infiltrates the soil, then gets absorbed by the roots of plants, then gets to the atmosphere.
What is the definition of Sublimation
The conversion of a substance from the solid state to the gaseous state without it becoming a liquid
What is the process of excess water that flows Earths surface called?
What is the definition of Phase Change
A change in the physical state of mater. (example solid, liquid, or gas)
What part of the water cycle are humans affecting by putting urban surfaces that reduce water absorption into the ground.
Runoff
