The Hydrological Cycle:
Water is essential to life. Without it the biosphere that exists on the surface of the earth would not be possible. Nicknamed the “water” planet, earth is covered by one of our most precious resources. However almost 93% is locked in the ocean, toxic to humans and many plants and animals. The hydrologic cycle takes place in the hydrosphere, the region containing all the water in the atmosphere and on the surface of the earth. The cycle is the movement of the water through this hydrosphere. The components of the hydro cycle are:
- § Condensation
- § Infiltration
- § Run – off
- § Evaporation
- § Precipitation
