Water Cycle (a)
Water in the form of gas
water vapor
oasis are formed when...
underground water gets close to the surface in the desert
storage areas of water like oceans, lakes, glaciers, ice caps, and groundwater
reservoir
a body sediment or rock that stores and allows for the flow of ground water
aquifer
What is water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle
Runoff
Plants contribute to the water cycle through this process?
transpiration
A molecule of water absorbs energy and vibrates. Then when it has enough energy, it will break apart from other water molecules and rise into atmosphere.
process of water becoming water vapor
You have 1 minute to draw the best duck you can!
YAY
If you can spell E................. (word for water vapour rising) you get 200 points!
Evaporation
What is it called when water moves from the atmosphere to the earth?
precipitation.
Name four forms of precipitation.
rain, hail, sleet, and snow.
A group of tiny water droplets in the atmosphere.
a cloud.
State of matter when water is frozen.
a solid.
What is the process of turning from a liquid to a gas called?
What is evaporation
The combined mass of water found on, under and above the surface of the planet.
What is the hydrosphere
three main types of clouds
cumulus, stratus, and cirrus
Where is most of the water on Earth stored
Oceans
The energy source that drives the water cycle.
the Sun
Trace a path of water starting in a cloud and it needs to go to five different places
precipitation
stream
groundwater
oasis
evaporation
condensation
What is it called when water travels through oceans, the atmosphere and land over and over again.
the water cycle.
Smaller subsystems of the Earth
What is the geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere?
water crystallizes and collects in solid masses of ice and snow that could slowly move
Glacier
Draw and label the three main types of clouds
compare and check with each other
When water vapor changes to a liquid
condensation.
this is water that moves under the Earth's surface?
groundwater
