THE WATER CYCLE 6 TH GRADE SCIENCE MR. RENN Next

Pick Some of the Stages in the Water Cycle and Read the Notes on those Slides. Click Here for the Mini-Quiz

CONDENSATION IS THE OPPOSITE OF EVAPORATION IT OCCURS WHEN AIR COOLS AND THE VAPOR COLLECTS INTO LIQUID FORM. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LIQUID THAT FORMS ON A MIRROR AFTER A HOT SHOWER Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

EVAPORATION OCCURS WHEN THE SUN HEATS WATER UP AND IT BECOMES VAPOR IN THE AIR. CAN BE SEEN BY OUR EYES THE STEAM FROM A BOILING POT OF WATER Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

SUBLIMATION OCCURS WHEN SNOW OR ICE (CONSIDERED THE SOLID FORM OF WATER) CHANGES DIRECTLY INTO VAPOR. EXAMPLE: DRY ICE Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

PRECIPITATION IS CONDENSATION FALLING ONTO LAND IN THE FOLLOW FORMS: RAIN SLEET HAIL SNOW MIST DEW FOG ONLY 10% OF WATER EVAPORATED FALLS AS PRECIPITATION. Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

INFILTRATION IS THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER FROM THE LAND SURFACE INTO THE SOIL OR POROUS ROCK. GROUND WATER BEGINS AS PRECIPITATION. ONCE WATER INFILTRATES THE SOIL IT CAN MOVE: VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY THROUGH THE SOIL. Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

GROUNDWATER DISCHARGE THE MOVEMENT OF WATER OUT OF THE GROUND. THIS CAN BE SEEN OF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER BEING PUSHED OUT FROM THE ROCKS. WILL FLOW TO A RIVER OR STREAM Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

GROUNDWATER STORAGE IS THE WATER THAT EXISTS FOR LONG PERIODS BELOW THE EARTH’S SURFACE. FOR EXAMPLE, A WATER TABLE ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A WELL. Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle Chart

SURFACE RUNOFF WHEN PRECIPITATION TRAVELS OVER THE SOIL SURFACE TO THE NEAREST STREAM CHANNEL. WHEN RAIN HITS SATURATED OR IMPERVIOUS GROUND, IT WILL FLOW DOWNHILL. IT IS AFFECTED BY TOPOGRAPHIC, GEOGRAPHIC, AND GEOLOGIC FACTORS. THIS CAN BE SEEN WHEN IT RAINS AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THE WATER COMING FROM THE SITE IS BROWN, THAT IS THE WATER PICKING UP AT THE LOOSE SEDIMENT. Click Here to Go Back to the Water Cycle

QUESTION #1 AFTER THE WATER INFILTRATES THE SOIL WHAT DIRECTION CAN THE WATER MOVE? A. Vertically C. Vertically and HorizontallyD. Vertically or Horizontally B. Horizontally HOME

INCORRECT! PLEASE TRY AGAIN Click Here to Try Again Yes water can move this way, AND there is another way it can move.

CORRECT!! Click Here to Move on to Question Number 2

WHICH OF THE FOLLOW IS NOT A FORM OF PRECIPITATION? A. Rain C. MistD. Water Vapor B. Snow HOME

INCORRECT! PLEASE TRY AGAIN Click Here to Try Again This is a form of perception.

CORRECT!! Click Here to Continue to the Next Slide This is not a form of Precipitation.
