Water Cycle
:a cycle where water is constantly cycled through the
atmosphere, ocean, and land.
Processes Involved:
1. Evaporation - changing of liquid into gas
2. Transpiration - the process of evaporation from
plants
3. Condensation - changing of gas into liquid
4. Precipitation - the returning of water into Earth's
surface
Other terms:
Sun - changes liquid into gas
Clouds - formed when water vapour condenses
Groundwater - water that is absorbed into ground
Runof - water that collects in streams

Watersheds

Watersheds

:an area of land on a slope

How it works?
Water that precipitates will flow in the watersheds
until it will return into streams.
Tributaries - small streams that supply water into
main streams
Factors Affecting the Amount of Water in the
Watersheds:
1. Vegetation Cover
2. Slope of the Area
3. Kind of Soil
4. Amount of rainfall

Water Forms
Concept: Planet Earth is composed of 71% water ang
29% land.
1. Ocean - widest and largest body of water in the
world.
World Oceans: Pacific (largest), Atlantic, Arctic,
Indian, and Southern.
2. Sea - salty body of water.
3. Lake - body of water surrounded by land.
4. Channel - wide body of water found between
islands.
5. Waterfalls - water from high places.
6. Strait - narrow body of water which separates two
large land forms.

7. Gulf - part of the ocean and can be found at the

opening of the sea.
8. River - wide body of water that flows towards the
sea.
9. Stream or Brook - small body of flowing water. The
source is a spring.
