Write a statement or two describing the movement of water through the hydrologic cycle, including several of the processes that are involved.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
The movement of water through the hydrologic cycle that includes the various processes.
Introduction:
Transpiration is the process through which moisture is carried by plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves. Here, it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
Explanation of Solution
The hydrologic cycle starts with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. When this water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds, it will come on the earth’s surface in the form of rainwater. The groundwater either seep into the oceans or reversed back to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation.
The water in the hydrologic cycle includes various processes such as evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

- Why is the Atlantic Ocean the saltiest ocean on Earth? In your explanation, use the terms “evaporation,” “precipitation,” “trade winds,” “Central America,” and “Pacific Ocean”.?arrow_forwardAt the large scale of the major ocean basins, do ocean currents tend to flow in a cyclonic or anti-cyclonic direction? How is this evidenced in the map of average sea-surface temperatures belowarrow_forwardThe map below shows sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies during El Niño years. Please explain what is meant by “anomaly”. In El Niño years, which side (east or west) of the tropical Pacific Ocean experiences anomalously high precipitation totals and which side experiences anomalously low precipitation totals? Why?arrow_forward
- When a body of cold air near earth’s surface moves into a region occupied by warmer air, the point of intersection is known as a cold front. What does this do to the vertical motion of the warm air and why? What does this do to surface pressure ahead of the cold front and why ?Does this tend to instigate cyclonic or anti-cyclonic atmospheric rotation ? Does this rotation tend to bring relatively warm air toward the poles or toward the lower latitudesarrow_forwardAs the atmosphere and ocean move, they are deflected due to the spin of the earth. Is the deflection to the right or to the left in the Northern Hemisphere? Is this the same in the Southern Hemisphere ? In both hemispheres, a low pressure will instigate cyclonic flow. In the Northern Hemisphere, does cyclonic flow circulate in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction and whyarrow_forwardIs the seasonal cycle in temperature (temperature difference between warmest and coolest season) stronger in the tropics or high latitudes, and why ?How about in “maritime” areas that are regularly exposed to air that was recently over the ocean versus more continental areas, and why?arrow_forward
