The Water Cycle by Brittany Wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39 en-us 2019-02-10 23:55:48 UTC 2026-02-25 20:58:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Soccerball.png The Water Cycle is when water moves across the four spheres and changes into its three forms to make a full cycle. The four sphere are atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681148 2019-02-10 23:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681148 1. Evaporation brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681170 The water at the surface of a standing body of water turns into a vapor. It moves hydrosphere to atmosphere. ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681170 2. Condensation brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681184 The water vapor begins to rise into colder pasts of the atmosphere and turns into ice and water droplets. They link together and form clouds and fog in the sky. ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681184 3. Sublimation brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681194 This occurs when the temperature is low or pressure is high. This is when instead of converting into liquid water ice directly converts into water vapors. The main sources for this step are the ice caps on mountains and the Poles. This is a slow process ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681194 4. Precipitation brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681213 This is rain. Water vapors have formed the clouds and wind or temperature change causes them to fall. Water droplets may combine to make bigger droplets. When temperatures are low, the water may freeze and turn into snow. It can also form into sleet, hail and a drizzle of rain. Water enters the Lithosphere ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681213 5. Transpiration brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681225 Water is absorbed by the soil after raining. Water can be turned into water vapor by plants. The roots absorb the water and use it for photosynthesis. Extra water is moved out of the plant onto the leaves as a water vapor. Water enters the Biosphere. ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681225 6. Runoff brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681240 As water comes down, it leads to being all over the surface of the earth. This is runoff. Snow melts or rain comes down and moves into a stream. From streams it moves to channels and river, which lead to lakes and oceans. Water enters the Hydrosphere. ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681240 7. Infiltration brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681253 The leftover water sinks deep into the soil to make aquifers. This water is drinkable. ]]> 2019-02-10 23:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329681253 Sources brittany_wilke https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329684212 https://www.freedrinkingwater.com/resource-water-cycle-student-guide.htm

It also changes the weather and provides many things with needed water. It creates bodies of water which many animals and plants depend on to survive. ]]> 2019-02-11 00:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_wilke/etaqopdsmr39/wish/329687638
