Water Cycle

How does water move through the cycle

1. Precipitation occurs over land and ocean
2. Transpiration occurs (water evaporates from plants) retiring water to air in a gaseous form
3. Evaporation occurs from bodies of water and turns into a gaseous form
4. Seepage/Perculation occurs (like underground runoff) moving water underground into a body of water
5. Runoff occurs moving water from on land to off land
6. Condensation occurs in collecting the water vapours in the air and returning them to a liquid state once they become too dense for the air

IMPORTANT NOTES

• the water cycle moves through the motions using the heat from the Sun
• Aquafers, fraking and the garbage patches all effect water quality and contamination
• only 1.2 % of the water on Earth is drinkable
• Water is apart of every cell and molecule
