Presentation Transcript

  1. The student knows that the water cycle is influenced by temperature, pressure, and the topography of the land. The Water Cycle SC.5.E.7.1/ SC.5.E.7.2

  2. Evaporation The process by which the Sun heats up the liquid water and changes it into water vapor.

  3. Condensation The process in which a gas (water vapor) is changed to a liquid as the temperature drops (air cools).

  4. Precipitation The process in which the temperature gets so warm that the clouds fill up, causing the water to fall to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

  5. Runoff (Surface Water) The moving of water across the land and back into bodies of water.

  6. Water Cycle Condensation Precipitation Evaporation Runoff

  7. Condensation Evaporation Precipitation Sorting

  8. Factors Affecting the Water Cycle Temperature The measure of how hot or how cold something is. Pressure The weight of all of the air above you. The shape of the land from flat surfaces to mountain tops. Topography

  9. Temperature Affects the Water Cycle Solar energy powers the water cycle. Temperature speeds-up the water cycle. When the temperature increases, water evaporates faster.

  10. Pressure Affects the Water Cycle When the air pressure is lower, the water vapor rises faster. Pressure speeds up the water cycle. L Pressure slows down the water cycle. H

  11. Topography Affects the Water Cycle Topography is the shape of the land. When the dry air loses its moisture, it moves down the mountain, losing moisture as it continues downward. Therefore, the opposite side of the mountain gets very little rain. Slows down the Water Cycle When the moist air from the oceans move up the mountain range, the air cools, causing the water vapor to condense and eventually fall back to the Earth as rain or snow. Speeds up the Water Cycle
