Water Cycle
Storyboard Text
- evapotranspiration
- condensation
- infiltration,
- The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas. Once evaporated, a molecule of water vapor spends about ten days in the air.
- percolation
- fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
- storage.
- Runoff - Much of the water that returns to Earth as precipitation runs off the surface of the land, and flows down hill into streams, rivers, ponds and lakes.
- evapotranspiration
- As you can see in the picture above, ground water can intersect with surface streams, it can appear at the surface as springs, and it flows generally downhill toward the ocean.the movement of water through the soil it self Percolation is
- The water is still moving, possibly very slowly, and it is still part of the water cycle. Most of the water in the ground comes from precipitation that infiltrates downward from the land surface.
- Water also evaporates directly into the atmosphere from soil in the vicinity of the plant. Any dew or droplets of water present on stems and leaves of the plant eventually evaporates as well.
