Objectives • Understand the major parts of the water cycle.
Water is continuously being moved through a repeated process Water Cycle 1 1b
(1a)Solar energy strikes ocean water, causing water molecules excite and turn into a gas • As it gets hotter it rises Evaporation 1a 1b
(1b) On land, plants lose moisture through small pores in their leaves. This is calledtranspiration. Water Cycle 1 1b
(2) The water vapor rises until the air is cool enough to transform it into tiny liquid droplets of water. • Clouds form Condensation 2 1a 1b
Name that cloud! 2. Cirrostratus 1. Cirrus 4. Altostratus 3. Cirrocumulus 9. Cumulo- nimbus 5. Altocumulus 8. Cumulus 6. Stratocumulus 7. Stratus
Precipitation • (3) If the droplets get large enough, gravity will cause them to fall to the ground. • It needs to hit the ground to be considered precipitation 2 3 1 1b
Water on the ground or in the ground will either evaporate again or eventually reach the ocean Runoff 2 3 1 1b
