The Water Cycle

1. 1most of the water on earth is saline, meaning salty and it can't be consumed by humans. of the world's freshwater, how much is stored in each of the following stores...
   cryosphere, as groundwater, as liquid freshwater and as water vapour in the atmosphere?
   (all answers as %)

   1. A4,8, 35, 5.6, 25.8
   2. B69, 30, 0.3, 0.04
   3. C25, 25, 25, 25
   4. D3.8, 7.9, 50, 38.3
2. 2for water to boil or melt it has to ... energy

   1. Again
   2. Blose
3. 3for water to condense or freeze it has to ... energy

   1. Alose
   2. Bgain
4. 4[blank_start]evaporation[blank_end] occurs when [blank_start]liquid water[blank_end] changes into a [blank_start]gas[blank_end], becoming [blank_start]water vapour[blank_end] - it [blank_start]gains[blank_end] energy, usually in the form of [blank_start]solar radiation[blank_end]. evaporation [blank_start]increases[blank_end] the amount of water stored in the atmosphere. the magnitude of the evaporation flow varies by location and season. evaporation will be [blank_start]higher[blank_end] when there is [blank_start]lots[blank_end] of solar radiation, lots of [blank_start]water[blank_end] and [blank_start]warm, dry air[blank_end]. where there isn't much solar radiation, little water and cool moist air, evaporation willl be [blank_start]low[blank_end]

   12. Llow
5. 5[blank_start]condensation[blank_end] occurs where water vapour becomes a [blank_start]liquid[blank_end] again it [blank_start]loses[blank_end] energy to the surroundings. it happens when air containing moisture [blank_start]cools[blank_end] to its dew point. water droplets can stay in the atmosphere or flow to other subsystems. the magnitude of the condensation flow depends on the [blank_start]amount of water vapour[blank_end] in the atmosphere and the [blank_start]temperature[blank_end]. for example, there will be [blank_start]high[blank_end] condensation when there is a [blank_start]large[blank_end] amount of water vapour in the air and there's a [blank_start]large[blank_end] temperature drop

6. 6precipitation is the main flow of water from the atmosphere to the ground

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
7. 7clouds form when warm air cools, which causes the water vapour in it to condense into water droplets, which gather as clouds

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
8. 8what three things lead to air cooling and precipitation forming

   1. Aother air masses
   2. Btopography
   3. Cconvection
   4. Dacid content of rain
   5. Eseason
   6. Ftime of day
9. 9water droplets caused by condensation are [blank_start]too small[blank_end] to form clouds on their own as fro a cloud to form there have to be [blank_start]tiny particles of other substances[blank_end] to act as [blank_start]cloud condensation nuclei[blank_end]. they give [blank_start]water[blank_end] a [blank_start]surface[blank_end] to [blank_start]condense[blank_end] on. this encourages clouds to form, rather than allowing the moist air to disperse. cloud formation and precipitation can vary [blank_start]seasonally[blank_end] and by [blank_start]location[blank_end]

   1. Atoo small
   2. Btiny particles of other substances
   3. Ccloud condensation nuclei
   4. Dwater
   5. Esurface
   6. Fcondense
   7. Gseasonally
   8. Hlocation
10. 10processes like burning and hydrolysis change the amount of water held in the cryosphere

    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse

11. 11during periods of global could, ....... into the cryosphere are ........ than ..........

    1. Ainputs.....greater.....outputs
    2. Boutputs.....greater.....inputs
    3. Cinputs...less than.... outputs
    4. Doutputs.....less than.....inputs
12. 12variations in [blank_start]cryosheric processes[blank_end] happen over different timescales. as well in chanes to global [blank_start]temperatures[blank_end] over thousands of years, variations can also happen over much [blank_start]shorter[blank_end] timescales. for example, [blank_start]annual[blank_end] flucuations mean [blank_start]more[blank_end] snow is likely to fall in [blank_start]winter[blank_end] than in [blank_start]summer[blank_end]
