2. Icecaps and glaciers 
3. Groundwater 
Which two water stores are non-renewable, and why? - 1. Fossil water: old, deep groundwater 
from former wetter periods 
2. Losses from the cryosphere: melting of ice as a result of global warming 
Distinguish between blue and green w...

What is the water cycle? - The cycle operates in a variety of spacial scales where physical 
processes control the circulation of water between stores on land, oceans, the cryosphere and the 
atmosphere. 
It works as a closed system with inputs (rainwater), outputs, stores and gravitational potential energy. 
It begins with evaporation where water vapour from the ocean is lifted and condensed in the 
atmosphere to form clouds. 
Moisture is then transported around the globe and returns to the sur...
