HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE

HYDROSPHERE

is a water layer of Earth

oceans

A cycle is a repeating system in which the end of the system becomes the beginning when the cycle repeats.

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a vapor/gas.

in the atmosphere

at home

Condensation is the process by which a vapor/gas changes to water.

Condensation: molecules of water are cooled; lose their heat energy; join to form droplets

Evaporation: molecules of water are heated by sun

Precipitation is the process when water falls from the sky.

The droplets freeze into crystals (snowflakes)

SLEET

snow that partially melts as it falls

HAIL

A hailstorm is heavy enough to overcome the updraft and fall to Earth

Water drops are frozen to form sleet

Hail is formed in thunderstorm clouds with updrafts

Raindrops are raised by updraft

Moisture in the air condenses on cold objects, such as grass, ground, cars, etc.

LAKES are bodies of water surrounded by land

The Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world and in Kazakhstan.

The Loch   Neagh (Northern Ireland) is the largest lake in the UK.

The Superior Lake is the largest lake in the USA.

Lake Galilee/The Galilee Sea/Lake of Tiberias is full of fish because water is constantly flowing into and out of the lake.

SEAS are bodies of salt water surrounded entirely or partially by land

The Sargasso   Sea is the largest sea in the world.

The Dead   Sea has no life in it because of great amount of salt in it.

OCEANS are bodies of salt water that compose much of a planet's hydrosphere
