WATER QUALITY - ASSIGNMENT - WPS Office

The document outlines the hydrologic cycle, detailing the continuous circulation of water through various processes including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Key processes are defined, such as condensation, evaporation, and transpiration, which describe the transformation of water in different states. The assignment is for students to diagram the hydrologic cycle and includes references for further information.

Hydrologic cycle also called water cycle is the cycle that involves the continuous circulation of water in
the earth atmosphere system. Of many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Although the total amount of water within the cycle remains essentially constant, it's distribution among
the various processes is continually changing.

A. Condensation: is the transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air, creating clouds
and fog.

B. Deposition: also known as desublimation is a thermodynamic process, a phases as it moves from the
ground or bodies of water into the overlying atmosphere.

C. Evaporation: is the transformation of water from liquid to gas phases as it moves from the ground or
bodies of water into the overlying atmosphere.

D. Percolation: is water that flows horizontally through the soil and rocks under the influence of gravity.

E. Sublimation: the state change directly from solid water(snow or ice) to water vapor.

F. Transpiration: is the release of water vapor from plants and soil into the air, water vapor is a gas that
cannot be seen.

G. Precipitation: is a condensed water vapor that falls to the earth surface. Most precipitation occurs as
rain, but also includes snow, fog, drip etc.
