  1. Water Cycle

  2. The Driving force of the Water Cycle

  3. Lake Erie has a huge role on the Water Cycle

  4. THE WATER CYCLE 3. Water vapor condenses to form clouds 2 4. Rain water falls to form rivers. 3 4 2. Water vapor is carried up into the air. 5 5. Rivers flow into the sea 1 1. Water evaporates

  5. Accumulation 97% of water is ocean Salt Water 3% Fresh water Glaciers, Ground water, Lakes, Swamps Rivers

  6. Evaporation • Heat energy from the sun causes water in puddles, streams, rivers, seas or lakes to change from a liquid to a water vapor. • This is called evaporation. • The vapor rises into the air and collects in clouds.  

  7. Condensation • Water vapor collects in clouds. As the clouds cool the water vapor condenses into water drops. • This is called condensation. • These drops fall to the earth as rain, snow or hail.

  8. Cirrus Composed of Ice= Pleasant Weather

  9. Stratus Lower part of sky= light rain

  10. Cumulus Can signal= Violent Weather

  11. Precipitation • Water falls to the earth from clouds. Mainly as rain, but sometimes as snow and hail. • This is called precipitation.

  12. Transpiration • Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water out of their leaves.  • Transpiration gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the water vapor back up into the air.

  13. Subsurface Runoff • How the water infiltrates (soaks) into the earth… • Will water go through a rock? • Will water go through sand?

  14. Surface Runoff • is the water flow which occurs when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources flows over the land.

  15. The Water Cycle Review • Your job is to go through 6 different water cycle sites on my website • Interact with the sites. • I really would like to find new facts to add to your knowledge of the watercycle • Take notes / Take quizzes • Be prepared for discussion on the top and worst sites that you went to. • Write down any interesting info that you find.

  16. YouTube - Innovative learning
