What are the parts of the water cycle?• Evaporation – water changes from a liquid to a gas• Transpiration – water changes from a liquid to a gas through intake
from plants• Condensation – water changes from a gas to a liquid through cooling• Precipitation – Water falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, hail, dew,
etc…• Infiltration / percolation – water moves through the ground becoming
groundwater
![Page 6: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Are there other ways water changes phases?• Yes but these are less common• Deposition – water changes from a vapor to a solid without a liquid
phase – very cold temperatures and high altitudes• Sublimination – water changes from a solid to a vapor without a
liquid phase – snow seems to disappear without melting
![Page 7: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What other factors make up the water cycle?• Flow – collection of water moving downhill• watershed – a ridge of land that funnels water into rivers or streams,
separates one river basin from another• River basins - an area of land drained by a river and its tributaries• Occurs on the surface and underground
![Page 8: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Where is water underground?• Much is in aquifers• Bodies of permeable rock that hold or transmit groundwater
• Humans tap into aquifers to use as wells
![Page 12: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the water table?• Level below which the
ground is saturated completely• Can vary with season• Can vary greatly with
topography• Changes over time
![Page 13: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How are groundwater and surface water connected?• Surface water percolates through
the regolith to become groundwater carrying substances with it which it has contacted• Groundwater replenishes through
surface water collected from precipitation• When water tables fill, flooding
events happen more frequently• The water table can vary from one
house to another

significant?
![Page 19: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are density currents?• Vertical ocean currents that result
from different densities• INCREASES in density can be
attributed to:• Higher content of salinity• Colder temperatures
• What do hot things tend to want to do? Because they are _______.Hot things tend to want to rise because they are less dense
![Page 20: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How does temperature affect density?• As water molecules get colder, they begin to get closer together.
Think about ice forming• As water molecules get warmer, they have more energy and spread
apart, meaning there are less of them in an area.
![Page 21: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How does temperature affect salinity?• As water freezes, freshwater
is stored in ice but salt is left out. • Cooler water has higher
concentrations of salt.• In areas such as the
Mediterranean, high tempeartures combined with low precipitation leads to increased evaporation. • Salt is left behind in higher
concentrations
![Page 22: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Where do density currents take place?• At high latitudes (the poles) water
sinks• Water cools• Shrinks and becomes less dense• Salinity increases
• South of India and Alaska water is pushed upward• Water is heated• Expands and becomes less dense• Salinity decreases
• The Mediterranean• Water is trapped and heated• Evaporation increases salinity• Water sinks

What is upwelling?• Wind blow from the equator parallel to the
coast• Warm water is pushed away from the coast by
wind• In a normal year this piles up warm water in the
Western Pacific • What do we call it when these winds subside and
warm water is not relocated?• Cold water moves up from the depths of the
ocean to replace the warm water that has been blown away• Happens off the California Coast• Brings a rising of nutrients from the deep
• Increases fish populations • Fish markets thrive in affected areas

How does water use affect aquifers?• Aquifers must be recharged through percolation and infiltration from
surface water• Aquifer depletion happens as aquifers are drained consistently for
long periods of time• Water in aquifers can be:• Transpired by plants• Released into streams• Used by humans
![Page 41: Hydrosphere](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7e20/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What are the consequences of aquifer depletion?• Worsens drought conditions• Lowers the water table• Salt water intrusion – problem at the
coast• Pressure is lowered in aquifer allowing
sea water to push its way into the aquifer
• Subsidence – land sinking • Coastal areas are drained allowing air in
the soil sparking decomposition making land sink
salt water intrusion
Salt water intrusion in the news
