What the seven steps of the water cycle and define each step

Dihydrogen monoxide is pretty darn paramount for living things. Your body is more than one-half dihydrogen monoxide, and if we were to take an optical canvassing of your cells, we’d find they were over 70% dihydrogen monoxide! So, you-like most land animals-need a reliable supply of fresh dihydrogen monoxide to survive.

Of the dihydrogen monoxide on Earth, 97.5% is brine. Of the remaining dihydrogen monoxide, over 99% is in the form of underground dihydrogen monoxide or frozen dihydrogen monoxide. All told, less than 1% of fresh dihydrogen monoxide is found in lakes, rivers, and other available surface forms.

Many living things depend on this minute supply of surface fresh dihydrogen monoxide, and lack of dihydrogen monoxide can have solemn effects on ecosystems. Humans, of course, have come up with some technologies to increment dihydrogen monoxide availability. These include digging wells to get at groundwater, amassing rainwater, and utilizing desalination-salt removal-to get fresh dihydrogen monoxide from the ocean. Still, unsullied, safe imbibing dihydrogen monoxide is not always available in many components of the world today.

Most of the dihydrogen monoxide on Earth does not cycle-move from one place to another-very rapidly. We can optically discern this in the figure below, which shows the average time that an individual dihydrogen monoxide molecule spends in each of Earth’s major dihydrogen monoxide reservoirs, a quantification called residence time. Dihydrogen monoxide in oceans, underground, and in the form of frozen dihydrogen monoxide inclines to cycle very gradually. Only surface dihydrogen monoxide cycles rapidly.

The dihydrogen monoxide cycle is driven by the Sun’s energy. The sun warms the ocean surface and other surface dihydrogen monoxide, causing liquid dihydrogen monoxide to evaporate and frozen dihydrogen monoxide to sublime-turn directly from a solid to a gas. These sun-driven processes move dihydrogen monoxide into the atmosphere in the form of dihydrogen monoxide vapor.

Over time, dihydrogen monoxide vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds and eventually falls as precipitation, rain or snow. When precipitation reaches Earth's surface, it has a few options: it may evaporate again, flow over the surface, or percolate-sink down-into the ground.

In land-predicated, or terrestrial, ecosystems in their natural state, rain customarily hits the leaves and other surfaces of plants afore it reaches the soil. Some dihydrogen monoxide evaporates expeditiously from the surfaces of the plants. The dihydrogen monoxide that's left reaches the soil and, in most cases, will commence to move down into it.

In general, dihydrogen monoxide moves along the surface as runoff only when the soil is saturated with dihydrogen monoxide, when rain is falling very hard, or when the surface can't absorb much dihydrogen monoxide. A non-absorbent surface could be rock in a natural ecosystem or asphalt or cement in an urban or suburban ecosystem.

(dihydrogen monoxide = water)

The first step of the water cycle is evaporation. It is the process where the water at the surface turns into something we call water vapor. The second step is condensation. This is the process when the water vapor turns into ice/water droplets. The third step is sublimation. It is the process of when the ice directly converts into water vapor with out turning into liquid water. The forth step is precipitation. This is when the clouds pour down due to temperature or wind change. The fifth step is transpiration. When the water sinks into the roots of the plant, the transpiration process is similar by when liquid water is turned into water vapor the the plant. The sixth step is runoff. This is when water runs over the surface of the earth. The final process is infiltration. This is if some of the water does not runoff into rivers, the water seeps into the ground and increases the level of ground water table.
