Whats abiotic
Not living
Whats first stage of water cycle
Water found In oceans, and this is salt water. Energy from the sun causes the water to evaporate from the surface of the sea, the water vapour now travels into the air and cools down.
Whats next stage of water cycle
When the water vapour cools, it condenses to form clouds, and the water in clouds then falls to the ground as precipitation (rain / snow / hail / sleet). All forms of precipitation contain fresh water.
Whats 3rd stage in water cycle.
Once the water from precipitation hits the ground, some of it evaporates back into atmosphere as water vapour, some of water passes through rocks and forms aquifers. Alot of the water forms rivers or streams, and that eventually drains back into sea.
What role do living organisms play in the water cycle
Plants take up water in their roots. This water moves up the plant in the xylem, and passes out of the leaves through stomata as water vapour, this is called transpiration
Animals take in water through drinking and in their food, animals release water in urine and faeces, and also when they exhale.
