| water cycle | change and movement of water through our atmosphere, below and above ground |
| subsurface runoff | water that flows UNDER ground |
| transpiration | water evaporates from leaves |
| surface runoff | rivers, streams, canals |
| surface runoff | runs downhill |
| condensation | water vapor turns to liquid |
| precipitation | water falling from the sky |
| precipitation | snow, sleet, hail, snow, icy rain, rainy snow, you get the idea |
| evaporation | liquid to gas |
| sublimation | solid ice to water vapor |
| desublimation | water vapor to solid ice or snow |
| sun and gravity | powers the water cycle |
| radioactive core | powers the rock cycle |
| accumulation | oceans lakes streams |
| subsurface runoff | underground streams, drains, sewers |
| oceans | over 96.5% of earth's water is stored here |
| earth | 70% of this is covered by oceans |
| stream flow | affected by surface runoff, ground water storage, springs |
| infiltration | downward movement of water through rocks and soil |
| infiltration movement | can be horizontal of verical |
| groundwater storage | water that is stored for long periods of time under the earth's surface |
| groundwater discharge | movement of water out of the ground ex. spring |
| freshwater storage | lakes, ponds, wetlands, large rivers |
| superhighway | occurs in the atmosphere - this moves water around the globe fast |
| evaporated water molecule | spends 10 or fewer days in the atmosphere |
| atmosphere | poor storage area - only 0.001% of total amount of water |
| What does ISS stand for? | Is Somebody Singing? |
| How fast is the ISS traveling? | 18,000 miles per hour |
| How many sunsets does the ISS crew see in a day? | 16 |
| How long does it take the ISS to orbit the earth one time? | 90 minutes |
| (For Noah) What country showed Is Somebody Singing to their school children? | Canada |
| How long do scientists and astronauts stay up in the ISS? | 4 - 6 months |
| water the dinosaurs drank | is still around today |
| once water has gone through all the phases of the water cycle | it begins again and recycles and recycles and recycles |
| Where do scientists think earth's water came from? | comet bombardment as the earth formed |
| Does water just go one way in the water cycle? | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo it can go from liquid to vapor or to solid. It can sublimate (ice to vapor) or melt, etc. |
