Hydrological Cycle

Hydrological cycle

The hydrologic cycle involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-Atmosphere system.

Ground Hydrological cycle

Flow of water underground that will eventually reach a river or stream

Evaporation

 Change of liquid to gasses, its effectiveness mainly changes from temperature and humidity of the air

Condensation

The evaporated water, water vapor, now solidifies in the cold atmosphere. Ice can form if the surrounded areas are cold enough

Precipitation

any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth: Rainfall, snow, hail or dew

Interception

When precipitation reaches leaves, crops and plants

Percolation

the process of water entering the ground

Surface storage

Water that is held in the Earth’s surface

Through flow

The water flowing into the river from transfers through the soil layer

Percolation

Process of underground water moving slowly through the ground

Factors that affect water input

• channel flow - the volume of water that is flowing in a river channel.

• Relief: the differences in height from place to place on the land's surface

• bedrock: the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials
