Water Cycle Conjunctions

The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface, including the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Water circulates as it changes states between liquid, vapor, and ice through different reservoirs including oceans, atmosphere, freshwater, and groundwater. This cycling of water has occurred for billions of years and is crucial for life as it transports minerals across Earth's surface and provides freshwater for living organisms.

WATER CYCLE SILVIA & LUIS ALBERTO 1.

The water cycle includes all the processes that shift waterboth those that physically move water, and those that convert water between solid, liquid, and gaseous states. OMAR ALEJANDRO 2. The cycle also contains many reservoirs, where water accumulates. ERIK & GUSTAVO EDUARDO 3. Because most water is in the oceans, most water is salty, and stays salty for a long time. DIEGO ADOLFO & CARLOS ALBERTO 4. Tides and waves move ocean water over short distances, while currents circulate the seas around the globe. JHONY ARTURO & DANIEL 5. Wherever the sun shines on the ocean, evaporation creates fresh water vapor out of salty seawater. LUIS FERNANDO & CARLOS NAHUM 6. As air moves away from the warm ocean it starts to cool off. JOSE CARLOS & JOS ALFREDO 7. The average airborne water molecule stays aloft for only 10 days or so, until it joins a water droplet heavy enough to fall from the sky. ASHLEI ASCENCIN 8. There, the water circulates until evaporation claims it once again. JUAN CARLOS 9. In cold regions, at high latitudes or altitudes, where snow builds up in the winter and doesnt melt in the summer, ice caps and snowfields grow and persist over thousands of years.

ALDO ISRAEL 10. When ice and snow melt, or rain falls on land, water is pulled swiftly downhill by gravity. CESAR RAUL 11. As it flows across the ground, running water cuts into the earth, wearing down and reshaping the ground. IVAN BENJAMIN 12. Although the handiwork of runoff is visible everywhere on land, more precipitation actually infiltrates, or soaks into, the earth than runs off. FRANCISCO ADAN 13. Liquid water is absorbed by roots, and lifted to the leaves, where it is converted to vapor and lost to the sky. CRISTIAN ALEJANDRO & EDWIN GIOVANNI 14. Some pollutants, such as bacteria, are filtered out of the water, while some minerals, like sodium and arsenic, are picked up by the water. ALEJANDRO 15. Earths oceans are salty, because groundwater has been carrying dissolved mineral salts down to the sea for billions of years. JOS ANTONIO 16. As the water cycle spins, the earths water moves from oceans to the atmosphere to the land, and back to the sea, over and over, and over again. ALEXIA 17. Tectonic activity inside the planet pulls water out of the system when seawater is dragged down inside the planet at subduction zones, and also adds water into the system when steam erupts from volcanoes. KARLA YARELI 18. Some moisture also leaves the outer edge of the water cycle, when vapor high in the atmosphere "leaks" into space.

ARELIS JACQUELINE 19. And, water can also enter the system from above, when icy comets collide with earth.
