Earth Floor: Cycles

Its repeating changes make a cycle. As water goes through its cycle, it can be a solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (water vapor). Ice can change to become water or water vapor. Water can change to become ice or water vapor. Water vapor can change to become ice or water. How do these changes happen? If heat is taken away from water vapor, it condenses. Thirstin's Water Cycle. The Water Cycle. Home The Earth is the water planet.

The Water Cycle

Between two-thirds and three-fourths of its surface is water. Oceans supply the most water, but it also can be found in ponds, rivers, in clouds, and in lakes. The Earth is full of water. Some of it evaporates. The water cycle is made up of four main parts: Evaporation and Transpiration, Condensation, Precipitation, and Accumulation. Evaporation is when the heat from the sun warms up water and turns it into water vapor. Water even evaporates from plants. You have already learned that condensation turns water vapor back to a liquid that forms clouds. Revolution: The Lifecycle of Water Told in a Stop Motion Pop-Up Book. This blog has seen it’s fair share of pop-up books, and animation using paper, but this might be the first where everything comes together in a single piece.

Revolution: The Lifecycle of Water Told in a Stop Motion Pop-Up Book

Revolution is an animated short by photographer Chris Turner, paper engineer Helen Friel and animator Jess Deacon that explores the life cycle of a single drop of water through the pages of an elaborate pop-up book. The book contains nine scenes that were animated using 1,000 photographic stills shot over the course of a year. (via faith is torment) Hydrologic cycle.

This cycle is made up of a few main parts: evaporation (and transpiration) condensation precipitation collection Evaporation: Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. Do plants sweat? Well, sort of.... Condensation: Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. You can see the same sort of thing at home...

The Water Cycle - ZoomSchool. Zoom AstronomyThe Water Cycle The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again.

The Water Cycle - ZoomSchool

The Sun's heat provides energy to evaporate water from the Earth's surface (oceans, lakes, etc.). Plants also lose water to the air (this is called transpiration). The water vapor eventually condenses, forming tiny droplets in clouds. When the clouds meet cool air over land, precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) is triggered, and water returns to the land (or sea). WHY ARE THE OCEANS SALTY?
