Why is Water Important?
By: Samantha Hosea
The Sun
drives the cycle
heats water in the ocean
causes the water to evaporate
Evaporation
Evaporation from the ocean
Sublimation: evaporation from ice and snow
Evapotranspiration: evaporation from plants and soil
Water Storage
Rising air currents take vapor up into the atmosphere
Cooler temperatures in the atmosphere make the water particles condense into clouds
Precipitation
Cloud particles collide and grow and then fall to the ground
falls as: rain, snow, hail, fog and sleet
Run Off
snowmelt: run off produced by melting snow
surface run off: precipitation on the ground
Ground water
Infiltration: water from the surface sinks into the ground
Ground water finds openings in the land surface/aquifers
ground water and run off stored in lakes
Ocean
Over time, the water reenters the ocean and the process starts all over again.
