|---|---|
| what does the water cycle do | moves continuously through a cycle. from the surface to the atmosphere and back |
| what does the sun do | provides heat through radiation to complete the process |
| what are the three major steps | evaporation, condensation, and precipitation |
| evaporation | liquid water is turned into water vapor. water comes from the surface of lakes, oceans, soil, and plants |
| condensation | water vapor condenses around tiny particles and forms cloud |
| perception | when the condensed water becomes too heavy and falls back to earth |
| how much of earth's water is salt water? | 97% (found in oceans and salt lakes) |
| how much of the earths water is fresh? | 3% (found in ice in Antarctica and the north pole 76% of the 3%) ( rivers and lakes 23%) ( water vapor 0.037%) |
| rivers | systems often begin in the mountains as small streams |
| tributaries | the streams and smaller rivers that feed into a main river |
| watersheds | the land area that supplies water to a river system |
| continental divide | water flows down.... you would be able to tell from a topographical map where the water might be according to elevation |
