The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water cycle describes the movement of water on‚ above and below the surface of Earth. Water can change states through the stages of the water cycle. Water can change from a solid to a liquid to water vapor in various places of the water cycle. Water moves from one lake to another‚ just like from an ocean to the atmosphere. Water travels by different processes of evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ infiltration‚ runoff and subsurface

average condition of water vapors in atmosphere. Relative humidity has also a physiological significance‚ as it determines the efficiency of the water-evaporating phase of our body cooling mechanism. It is also an important source of all forms of condensation and precipitation‚ where there is little moisture in the air; the precipitation will be low as compared to high atmospheric moisture. As the air is a principal absorber of solar energy and earth radiant energy as well‚ water vapor operates as a heat

the Water Cycle The main parts of the water cycle are evaporation‚ condensation‚ and precipitation. They go together in a circle/cycle called the water cycle. None of these parts can be missing. (Well‚ everything in the water cycle is needed.) Evaporation- Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor and flows up into the sky. You can’t see it because it’s now gas and gas is invisible. Evaporation usually happens on hot‚ rainy days because the sun’s energy turns water into

are moving from land to water‚ creating warmer summers and colder winters. Elevation affects climate‚ because the higher the elevation‚ the more the temperature decreases. As latitude increases and you go closer toward the poles‚ temperature decreases. Leeward coasts have warmer summers and cooler winters‚ and the weather patterns go from land to water. Leeward coasts have mild summers‚ and cool winters‚ and the weather patterns go from the water toward land. 2. Land and water heat and cool differently

about boiling water. If you cover the tin and allow the water and air to cool down‚ the air will cool and contract‚ lowering the pressure in the tin. If it lowers enough‚ the partial vacuum will collapse the walls of the can! The boiling point definitely reduces with air pressure. There is a famous demonstration where boiling water or coffee is drunk‚ the trick is it was in a vacuum chamber where it boiled at room temperature. The actual definition of the boiling point of water is the temperature

on the desalination of water. The desalination of water is very important to human and animal life. For centuries humans have used the process of desalination to obtain water safe for consumption.Various methods of desalination have been produced however only some of those methods are widely used today. Although there are numerous methods of desalination all of them involve three liquid streams: the saline feedwater (seawater or brackish water)‚ low-salinity product water‚ and very saline concentrate

In this laboratory you will be investigating how pressure affects the temperature of air and how this relates to the formation of clouds in the troposphere

وبركاته Water cycle The Earth ’s water is always in movement‚ and the water cycle‚ also known as the hydrologic cycle‚ describes the continuous movement of water on‚ above‚ and below the surface of the Earth. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle‚" there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid‚ vapor‚ and ice at various places in the water cycle‚ with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years. Although the balance of water on Earth remains
