Hydrosphere

Question 1

Lable this diagram of the watch cycle
The water cycle-diagram

Hydrosphere

Answer 1

A= precipitation
B= runoff
C= infilteration
D= ground water
E= evaporation
F= condensation
G= transpiration

Question 2

Explain each of the processes within the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration)

Hydrosphere

Answer 2

1. Evaporation: Water on the Earth’s surface absorbs heat from the sun and transforms into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.
2. Condensation: Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses around particles like dust, forming clouds.
3. Precipitation: When clouds become heavy with condensed water droplets, gravity pulls them down to the Earth’s surface.
4. Transpiration: Plants absorb water from the soil through their roots and release it into the air as water vapor through their leaves.

Question 3

What is Transpiration

Hydrosphere

Answer 3

Transpiration: Plants absorb water from the soil through their roots and release it into the air as water vapor through their leaves.
