Hydrosphere
Water on Earth
• El agua existe en la Tierra en tres estados: sólido, líquido y gas. Océanos, ríos, nubes y lluvia están en constante cambio. El agua de la superficie se evapora. A medida que sube, el aire se enfría y el vapor se transforma en agua: es la condensación. Las gotas se juntan y forman una nube. Cuando las nubes tienen mucha cantidad de agua, ésta cae a la superficie produciendo la precipitación. Si en la atmósfera hace mucho frío, el agua cae como nieve o granizo. Si es más cálida, caerán gotas de lluvia.
• Este ciclo que recorre el agua se llama ciclo del agua porque la cantidad total de agua en el planeta no cambia sino que se transforma y mueve.
Water cycle – El ciclo del agua
EVAPORATION
Heat from the Sun transforms liquid water into water
vapour. This steam forms the clouds.
CONDENSATION
When temperature goes down, water vapour
condenses into a liquid and then, precipitation
takes place.
PRECIPITATION
It can be in the forms of rain (liquid) or
snow, sleet and hail if temperature is very
low.
Liquid water goes down the surface of
mountains and creates rivers, lakes, ponds and streams.
Some water goes through the soil and
rocks making GROUND WATER
