hydrosphere. As you study this natural system you cannot help but see the hand of a powerful and creative God. The hydrologic cycle is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth’s water supply. This cycle consist of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and then infiltration. The water cycle is powered by solar energy, or controlled by the sun. The sun produces heat which causes the water from the oceans, lakes, rivers etc. to warm and evaporate. This evaporation is when water is heated to

One hot summer morning a little Cloud rose out of the sea and floated lightly and happily across the blue sky. Far below lay the earth, dry, from drought. The little Cloud could see the poor people of the earth working and suffering in the hot fields, while the cloud floated on the morning breeze, without a care. "Oh, if I could only help the poor people down there!" she thought. "If I could but make their work easier! And as the day passed, and the Cloud became larger, this wish to do something

What is the primary difference between a cloud droplet and a raindrop? A typical cloud droplet is 100 times smaller than a raindrop. Clouds are composed of many small droplets. 2. Describe how the process of collision and coalescence produces precipitation. To produce the many collisions necessary to form a raindrop, some cloud droplets must be larger than others. Larger drops may form on large condensation nuclei, such as salt particles, or through random collisions of droplets. The amount of time

Summary: This short article briefly explains the effects of the bushfire in Australia had on Sydney harbour’s iconic ‘opera house’. The smoke is said to have ‘overshadowed’ the harbor, turning day into night. It then goes on to saying climate change is not only worsening in Australia, but also affecting throughout the world. Personal Reaction: Firstly, I found the topic intriguing. The fact that huge, dark clouds had turned day into night, was somewhat sort of exciting. However, as I kept on

Global Warming Is Natural, Not Man-Made by Anthony Lupo (NAPSA)—One of the fundamental tenets of our justice system is one is innocent until proven guilty. While that doesn’t apply to scientific discovery, in the global warming debate the prevailing attitude is that human induced global warming is already a fact of life and it is The up to d o u b t e r s t o Global p r o v e otherwise. To complete the Warming Debate analogy, I’ll add that to date, there is no credible evidence to demonstrate that

the hydrological cycle – their main function is to transport water from the land to the sea. Hydrological cycle – it is another term for the water cycle. Precipitation – It’s the type, total amount and intensity of precipitation are key factors in determining the nature of water movement Interception – Vegetation intercepts some precipitation on its way to the ground, water is lost back into the atmosphere by evapotranspiration. Intercepting plants use water for growth and vegetation reduces and
