AIM: Do now In your notes, list places on our planet you would expect to find water. Where on Earth can water be found?

Constant movement of water through the atmosphere, lithosphere and biosphere powered by the sun. I. The Hydrosphere

converting liquid water to a vapor (gas). Uses energy from the sun. Any form of water that falls from a cloud. II. Parts of the Water Cycle

The movement of water into rock or soil through cracks, pores or spaces. Water that flows over the land. (streams) What might cause more runoff to occur in an area?

the release of absorbed water by plants into the atmosphere. If water doesn’t precipitate, evaporate, infiltrate, runoff or undergo transpiration, where might it go or be found?

water vapor (gas) turning into liquid water forms clouds Liquid condense around a solid particle called a condensation nuclei. (piece of dust, dirt, organic matter floating in the air) Clouds are filled with millions of these tiny water droplets.

III. Balance in the Water Cycle Which two parts of the water cycle do you think should be in Dynamic Equilibrium? Evaporation = Precipitation More precipitation = Floods More evaporation = Drought

infiltrate / transpiration tree cloud

Closure: Take a worksheet from the back top bin. With your partner work on both sides of the worksheet.
