THE WATER CYCLE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
GAS (WATER VAPOR) EVAPORATION: THE SuN HEATS THE WATER Of RIVERS, LAkES, OCEANS, PLANTS AND ANImALS AND IT TuRNS INTO VAPOR , GAS OR STEAm CONDESATION: WATER VAPOR IN THE AIR GETS COLD , fORmING CLOuDS, fOG OR DEW
PRECITIPATION THE CLOuDS GET HEAVY AND WATER fALLS BACk AS PRECIPITATION TO THE EARTH IN fORm Of RAIN, HAIL OR SNOW THE WATER mAY fALL BACk IN THE OCEANS, LAkES OR RIVERS OR IT mAY END uP ON LAND . WHEN IT ENDS uP ON LAND ,IT WILL EITHER SOAk INTO THE EARTH OR BECOmE PART Of THE “ GROuND WATER” THAT PLANTS AND ANImALS uSE IT TO DRINk OR IT mAY RuN OVER THE SOIL, RAVINES AND BE COLLECTED IN THE OCEANS, PONDS, WHERE THE CYCLE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN
THE HEAT Of THE SuN mELTS THE ICE TO BECOmE LIquID WATER
SOLID If HEAT IS TAkEN AWAY fROm LIquID WATER, IT fREEzES TO BECOmE ICE
RuN Off THE WATER THAT fALLS
BACk TO THE SuRfACE Of THE EARTH EIRTHER STAYS ON THE SuRfACE Of THE EARTH, OR fLOWS Off THE SuRfACE INTO RIVERS, LAkES, RESERVOIRS. THIS fLOW IS TERmED RuN-Off
TRANSPIRATION: the water from the plants and animals
EVAPORATION ( gas)
ACCOMULATION
CONDENSATION ( clouds form)
PRECIPITATION ( storm with lightnings and rain)
AN INfILTRATION GALLERY IS A STRuCTuRE INCLuDING PERfORATED CONDuITS IN GRAVEL TO ExPEDITE TRANSfER Of WATER TO OR fROm A SOIL AquIfER
fe
The water of the rain infiltrates and runs down into a series of underground pipes or subterranean channels to be collected in ponds. There are some water vents or holes, which regulates air pressure to avoid it being overflowed and it can run freely.
THE WATER PIPES Of BARRANCO DEL INfIERNO ( “HELL RAVINE”) OR fRANCHOjA O CHOjA ( "HELL'S GORGE“ )IN ADEjE, TENERIfE
COLLECTING fRESH WATER fRESH WATER IS PumPED fROm A COLLECTION TANk THROuGH THE PIPE CONDuCTS INTO OuR HOuSES. IT IS uSED TO IRRIGATE OuR CROPS, fIELDS , GARDENS OR TO DRINk
WHAT WOuLD HAPPEN If THE WATER CYCLE STOPPED? If THE WATER CYCLE STOPS WORkING, EVERYONE WOuLD DIE. THEN RAIN WOuLD
STOP COmING DOWN, AND WOuLD kILL PLANTS, WHICH WOuLD mEAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS WOuLD STOP, AND ALL Of THE OxYGEN WOuLD BE REPLACED WITH CARBON DIOxIDE, WHICH WOuLD kILL ALL BEINGS THAT BREATHED OxYGEN, SO IT WOuLD kILL THE PLANET,
THE EARTH WOuLD BECOmE A DRY DESERT, THERE WOuLD BE A GLOBAL WARmING,A LOT Of HuRACANES,TORNADOS, fLOODS, DROuGHTS ...
SO WATER IS THE ONE THING ON THIS EARTH THAT IS ALWAYS BEING RECYCLED. EVEN OuR OLDEST Of ANCESTORS uSED THE SAmE WATER WE uSE TODAY.
