Chapter 42, Problem 9TYU
INTERPRET THE DATA Draw a simplified global water cycle showing ocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to the ocean. (a) Label your drawing with these annual water fiuxes: ocean evaporation, 425 km2: ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation, 365 km2; ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km2; evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70 km2; runoff to the oceans, 40 km2. (b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) How would this ratio change during an ice age and why?

The Water Cycle
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean,
the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning
or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
