What Are The Steps Of The Water Cycle?
From water from the rain, to the water we drink, water is reused over and over. Our water goes through a cycle known as the water cycle.
The first step in the water cycle is known as evaporation. Evaporation is occurs when water in rivers, ocean, or lakes is heated up by the sun and turned into steam.
When the vapor is made from the bodies of water, it is released into the air. Once it is high enough in the air, it reaches a temperature cold enough to form it back into a liquid. This liquid becomes stored in Read the rest of this entry »

What Is Hydrology And Why Is It Important?

Hydrology demonstrates the ultimate in recycling as water flowing through lakes, rivers, and oceans evaporates and falls to earth as rain or snow. This then percolates into the ground where some is taken up by plants, to later evaporate, or makes its way into groundwater, where it eventually makes its way to the surface.
Conservation is important because, even though water is constantly recycled, not all Read the rest of this entry »
