Task 4 Estefanía Taranco

Evidence: Multiplie Choice questions

  • The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun's energy

  • Some precipitation falls onto the land and is absorbed (infiltration) or becomes surface runoff which gradually flows into gullies, streams, lakes, or rivers.

  • World Water Supply by Location: Oceans – 97.08%

  • For scientists, five main processes are included in the hydrologic cycle.

  • Water vapor usually remains in the atmosphere for a short time, from a few hours to a few days

  • Water vapor usually remains in the atmosphere for a short time, from a few hours to a few days until it turns into precipitation and falls to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.



Task 4 Estefanía Taranco


True or False

  • El Ciclo Hidrológico tiene 4 fases.
  • El agua sólo se mueve a través de la tierra por la energía del sol.
  • El vapor de agua permanece en la atmósfera por corto tiempo, y precipita en forma de lluvia, nieve, aguanieve y granizo.
  • La precipitación y evaporación es balanceado a través del mundo.

Task 4 Estefanía Taranco

Evidence: True or False questions

    1. False. For scientists, five main processes are included in the hydrologic cycle: 1) condensation, 2) precipitation, 3) infiltration, 4) runoff, and 5) evapotranspiration.

    2. False. The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun's energy, which moves water between the oceans, the sky, and the land.

    3. True. Water vapor usually remains in the atmosphere for a short time, from a few hours to a few days until it turns into precipitation and falls to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

    4. True. The amount of precipitation and evaporation is balanced throughout the world.

        QUESTIONS
        TRUE
        FALSE
        1) ¿El ciclo hidrològico es un proceso entre la energia de la luna y la tierra?


        2) ¿El 3% del palneta es agua?


        3) ¿En la Era de hielo era diferente la localizaciòn de agua en la tierra, habia menos agua en los ocèanos?

        4) Uno de los procesos del ciclo hidrologico es la evapotranspiraciòn?

        Respuestas:

          1. false) The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun's energy, which moves water between the oceans, the sky, and the land.
          2. (false) We can start our examination of the hydrologic cycle with the oceans, which hold over 97% of the planet's water.
          3. (true) Only during the ice ages are there noticeable differences in the location of water storage on the earth. During these cold cycles, there is less water stored in the oceans and more in ice sheets and glaciers.
          4. (true) cientists, five main processes are included in the hydrologic cycle: 1) condensation, 2) precipitation, 3) infiltration, 4) runoff, and 5) evapotranspiration. The continuous circulation of water in the ocean, in the atmosphere, and on the land is fundamental to the availability of water on the planet.
