water cycle Test
Enter the letter for the matching Answer
| A. the water cycle is a closed system meaning no extra water is added or taken away, however drainage basins are a open system B. only 1% of water is fresh water C. evaporation, transpiration, evapotranspiration D. oceans take up 97% of total water E. percolation, throughflow, evaporation, transpiration, evaporation
evapotranspiration, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, infiltration, water table, river discharge F. there's limited infiltration, slow lag time, high discharge, conventical rainfall, deforestation leads to reduced evapotranspiration G. Precipitation = Discharge + Evaporation ± changes in stores H. river channel, soil water, ground water, interception, water table, antecedent conditions and surface storage I. it is how a drainage basin responses to rainfall eg lag time and infiltration rates J. interception, interception, surface runoff, throughflow, percolation, groundwater flowK. orthographic, conventual, cyclonic L. there 3 types of cells Hadley which is nearest to the equator, then the feral cell and finally the polar cell M. seasonality eg monsoon season, latitude eg low and high pressure N. meteorological factors, soil composition, basin size and shape, relief, and vegetation O. intertropical convergence zone- the band of low pressure between the Hadley cell between the northern and southern hemisphere P. rapid runoff in spring, 85% of sunlight is reflected, permafrost is impermeable, in summer there's an increased co2 being released, orographic and cyclonic rainfall Q. deforestation, afforestation, dam construction, urbanisation, change in land use |
