- Water In The Ocean
- Hi! My name is Eva and I'm a water molecule that is currently in the ocean. I am going to take you through the steps of the water cycle.
- The water cycle is a journey all water goes through. There are seven steps of the water cycle.
- Fun Fact: There is the same amount of water on Earth now as there was when Earth was created
- Liuku: 2
- Evaporation
- During evaporation the sun solar radiation turns water from a liquid to a gas. Thermal energy breaks apart our bonds.
- Uh Oh! I'm Scared!
- Liuku: 3
- If you have not guessed, this process is called condensation.
- Condensation
- Once we are turned into water vapor, we form into clouds. This occurs because gas condenses into visible water droplets.
- Water vapor is water in it's gas form
- Liuku: 4
- Precipitation
- This is so fun!
- AHHHH!!
- Once we have turned into a cloud, precipitation happens. This is when water droplets in clouds become too heavy and fall back to Earth.
- Liuku: 5
- The 3 states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) relate to the water cycle because there are different forms of water at all times in the cycle.
- Sublimation
- Sublimation is the process where snow/ice changes to vapor without first melting into a liquid. This happens in cold places because the water turns into a solid.
- Liuku: 6
- Fun Fact: Evapotranspiration is the grand process where all water moves to the land by evaporation and transpiration
- Transpiration
- Transpiration occurs when water inside the plants is transferred to water vapor. This process mostly occurs during the day. Water exits the plants through multiple openings in the leaves.
- Liuku: 7
- The water cycle affects the weather because it determines rain, snow, and temperature, depending on how much water vapor is in the air.
- Run-Off
- Fun Fact: 97% of water on Earth is too salty and undrinkable
- Run-Off happens when there is more water than the ground can absorb. The extra liquid flows across land and into bodies of water.
- Liuku: 8
- We can conserve water by turning off the faucet, taking quick showers, and using water-efficient appliances.
- Infiltration
- Interception is the process of interfering with water movement. For example, vegetation cover prevents water from reaching the soil.
- Infiltration is water seeping into the soil and goes into the cracks of the rocks.
