The Water Cycle !!
A Water Cycle !!
Not a Water Cycle!
Water Cycle Diagram – Instructions
Vapor = TransportationA. Transportation – moving H2OMovement of water from
one place to another
CondensationB. Evaporation & C. Condensation Liq => Gas Gas => Liq
Condensation – gaseous water or vapor changing into a liquid
Evaporation – liquid water changing into a gas or water vapor
D. Transpiration (Liq => Gas fm Tree leaves)
Water that moves through and evaporated from plants
PrecipitationE. Precipitation (falling H2O.)
Condensed water (rain, sleet, snow & hail) that falls to the ground

F. Surface Run off - on Oahu (moving H2O)
Water from rain, snow or ice melt that flows over the land surface

SUMMARY G. Infiltration & H. Percolation H2O penetrate soil surface H2O penetrate soil layers
I. Aquifer – H2O in sand & gravel layers
Storage of water underground. Underground water is called “groundwater”. This water is stored in the spaces between
sand & gravel.
Layers in soil show evidence of water
beneath the surface
J. Groundwater Flow (H2O flow underground)
Movement of groundwater
Man with a Dousing Rod In the early
1920’s“finding
water”Superstitious people
believed some had the “gift” to sense water
underground! Dowsers made a lot of
money for their ‘talents’.
Groundwater Quality issuesIf groundwater becomes contaminated, the polluted water flows
through the aquifer, spreading to other areas over time.

K. Return Flow – H2O flow on surface to lakes etc
Surface water flowing downhill to a larger water body
K. ‘Hidden’ Return flow from Human Use
Water flow / pumped to a larger water body after human use.

L. Accumulation – H2O liq. in large areas

L. Accumulation - H2O sol. in large areas
Gathering of large amounts of water over time in the form of liquid water, snow, or ice.

M. Sublimation Solid=>Gas (Dry Ice)Changing from a solid to a gas. Example, ice cubes in a freezer get
smaller as they “sublime” over time.
N. Deposition Gas => Solid
Water physically changing directly from a
gas to a solid.
O. Melting Solid => Liquid
