hydrological cycle

Cards (6)

    1. water is evaporated from the sea , when moist air rises the temperatures drop causing condensation to form clouds
  • 2. advection moves clouds inland and precipitation occurs such as rain or snow , amount and duration effect level of water in the system
  • 3. water is then stored in lakes or as glaciers on the surface or transported back to the sea by overland flow
  • 4. water that has fallen on vegetation can move back into the atmosphere by evapotranspiration
  • 5. water thats fallen on earths surface either moves underground through infiltration and flow back to oceans as through flow or moves further underground by percolation
  • 6. here water is stored as ground water or moves back to the oceans as groundwater flow
