The Water Cycle
How much of earth's water is freshwater? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔less than 3%
How much of earth's water is salty, or ocean water? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔about
97%
How is freshwater divided up between common "reservoirs" (atmosphere,
soil and aquifers, plants and animals, glaciers and icecaps, surface water -
lakes, rivers and streams)? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔30.1% is groundwater
68.7% is glaciers and ice caps

, How LONG is a water molecule in these different Earth reservoirs (know 2
longest and shortest times) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔It depends on permeability:
sometimes it can move several meters in a day, in others it can take a
century to move a centimeter
Precipitation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Condensed water falling as rain, snow, or ice
Condensation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Water vapor becomes liquid water as air
cools
Evaporation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The process of turning from liquid to vapor
Transpiration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Release of water vapor from plants
Evapotranspiration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Evaporation of water from plants and
soil
Runoff - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Water from precipitation that flows over land
surface
Infiltration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Water from precipitation percolating/soaking
into the surface
Recharge - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Infiltrating water gets past surface soils and
plant roots; reaches water table and aquifer// water is purified as it travels
