To begin your quest go to this site in
red and learn about the key terms talked about above Fun fact: Water is an integral part of life on this
planet. It is an odorless, tasteless, substance that covers more than
three-fourths of the Earth's surface. Most of the water on Earth, 97% to be
exact, is salt water found in the oceans. We can not drink salt water or use
it for crops because of the salt content. We can remove salt from ocean
water, but the process is very expensive.
Go to the site in red to see a diagram of
what the key terms mean and than see how they work. http://mbgnet.mobot.org/fresh/cycle/cycle.htm
When you have seen the diagram, make a diagram of your own explaining how the
key terms work in the water cycle. Go to the site in red to find out more
information on the key terms of the water cycle http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/planets/earth/Watercycle.shtml For fun click on the red site below to do
