If the water falls on vegetation, it may evaporate from leaves back into the air, or trickle down to the ground. Some of this water may then be taken up by the plant roots in the earth. In cold climates, the precipitation may build up on land as snow, ice or glaciers.
25 Σεπ 2024 · The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states. Liquid water is found in oceans, rivers, lakes—and even underground. Solid ice is found in glaciers, snow, and at the North and South Poles. Water vapor—a gas—is found in Earth’s atmosphere.
Currently, there are many NASA missions that are simultaneously measuring a myriad of Earth's water cycle variables; Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Groundwater Flow, Ice Accumulation and Runoff. NASA's water cycle research missions can be grouped into 3 major categories; Water Cycle, Energy Cycle, and Water and Energy Cycle Missions.
Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls quickly from a cloud. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel (soft hail or snow pellets), and hail.
Kids learn about ocean tides including tidal currents and types of tides. This rising and falling of the sea level is caused by the gravity of the Moon and the Sun.
19 Οκτ 2023 · The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth. Grades 3 - 12+
Scientists use patterns to make predictions about the weather. For example if they know that weather almost always moves from west to east, they can predict which way a thunderstorm will move. Why is it important for us to know about thunderstorms before they happen?
