Question

Use Figure 8.1, The Water Cycle (hydrologie cycle) to answer the following questions. - Label on the diagram all the forms of water shown: ice and snow, freshwater lake, river, seawater, clouds, rain, and fog. b. What forms of water might also be found in the environment shown in Figure 8.1 (forms that are too small to be depicted in the diagram)? c. Label all the arrows in Figure 8.1 that represent the processes involved in the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, sublimation, transpiration, respiration, precipitation, and groundwater flowage. d. What kinds of biological processes are dependent on the water cycle? e. What kinds of geological processes are a consequence of the hydrologic cycle? 29 8.4 f. Figure 8.1 shows the major natural reservoirs that hold the water. The volume of water in each of these reservoirs is given below in cubic meters (* 101m) Oceans 1350 Glaciers and polar ice Underground aquifers Lakes and rivers .2 The atmosphere .013 The biosphere 1. Calculate the percentage of the total for water held by the oceans. (1) 2. Calculate the percentage of the total for water held by glaciers and polar ice. (2) 3. Calculate the water held in the atmosphere as a percentage of all (3) .0006 non-ocean water.

Answer 1

Mostly al living beings meed plants need water for phosynthesis which Basically provide food to all living beings ( animal by carnivores in a way plants" provide food to living beings ) . Like Humans , majority of other living creatures need eat plants get eaten all so drink ΟΥ water to Breate and like erosion e) process water cycle alegrey Geological transportation of minerals depend on rain & ice carved the surface of Earth for long also flowing water transporis different
