Precipitation and Water Distribution

This page delves into precipitation processes and their role in the water cycle, emphasizing how water returns to Earth and redistributes through various pathways.

Definition: Precipitation encompasses any form of water, either liquid or solid, that falls to Earth as a result of atmospheric condensation.

Example: Precipitation manifests as rain, snow, and hail, delivering water back to Earth's surface.

Highlight: Solar energy plays a crucial role by melting glaciers and snow, contributing to water distribution across different reservoirs.

Fun Fact: Melted ice and snow contribute to both surface water bodies and soil moisture through various pathways.

Vocabulary: Infiltration - The process of water entering the soil Percolation - The downward movement of water through soil layers

Understanding Water Cycle Fundamentals

This page introduces the fundamental processes of the water cycle, focusing on evaporation and condensation as key components of عملی مراحل چرخه آب. The continuous movement of water within Earth's systems is explained through detailed diagrams and definitions.

Definition: The water cycle represents the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere, encompassing multiple interconnected processes.

Vocabulary: Evaporation - The process where liquid water changes into water vapor Condensation - The process where water vapor changes back into liquid water

Example: In the water cycle, liquid water from oceans, lakes, and rivers evaporates into water vapor, which later condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds.

Highlight: The transformation between liquid and gas states is crucial for maintaining Earth's water distribution.
