The Water Cycle
LinkWhere do puddles go?
Essential Question
How does water move around Earth’s atmosphere and lithosphere (ground)?
?
Water Vapor (Gas)Water vapor moves into the atmosphere two
ways:• Evaporation: Water is heated (usually by the
sun), changed to a gas & rises into Earth’s atmosphere.
• Transpiration: Plants give off water vapor through their leaves
You can see where the water used to be. Where did it go?
Liquid Water - Condensation
• Water vapor cools & turns back into liquid.• Those water droplets join together to make
clouds.• Two types: Depends on temperature– Dew: Water vapor condenses right on a surface– Frost: Water vapor goes straight from a gas to ice
crystals, a solid.
Why is the can wet, but the mug frosty?
Liquid Water - Precipitation
• Water droplets in the clouds fall• Form of precip. depends on temperature
(clouds, air, & ground)– Rain, snow, freezing rain, sleet, or hail
Why will it snow in Greenville, but not here in Greenwood?
Liquid Water – Run Off
• Water wants to be at sea level • Two Types:– Surface Water Flow– Ground Water Flow
What kind of run-off will we get?
Is the ground porous?
Yes – Ground Water Flow
No – Surface Water Flow
Is the precip. falling fast?
Yes – Surface Water Flow
No – Ground Water Flow
