Parts of Hydrologic CycleParts of Hydrologic CycleAtmospheric Moisture – Water that has evaporated
into the atmosphere from bodies of water like oceans and lakes.
Precipitation – Water that returns to the earth in the form of rain, hail and snow.
Stream Flow – Precipitation water that runs from higher elevation to the ocean. Has vast network of stream river and tributaries.
Evaporation – Water that returns to the atmosphere when earth’s surface is heated.

Colorado Climate Colorado Climate
Just as Colorado has Diverse terrain it also has a vast difference in climate
Plains – Dry arid climate with low annual rain fall between 12 -17 inches of precipitation.
Foothills – Semi arid cooler regions with low annual rainfall between 12 – 16 inches of precipitation mostly from snow fall.
Mountain - Arid to wet climate with moderate annual moisture between 10 – 25 inches majority coming from snow fall.
Plateaus – Very dry arid regions with low precipitation between 8-10 inches.

River Systems In ColoradoRiver Systems In Colorado
Watersheds – Land between ridges that catches and directs runoff to its valley and streams. There are several watersheds that flow into the different river basins of Colorado.
Rivers – Rivers are the main component of a Riverine system along with watersheds and Riparian zones. Rivers are what carry water from the mountains to the oceans.
Riparian Zones - Areas around rivers that animal and humans come in contact with the river. These areas Include wetlands and banks.
