Water cycle

Ensino Fundamental Final::Meio AmbienteThe image shows completely the water cycle. The solar radiation is responsible for the evaporation of the surface water, by evapotranspiration. The evaporated water is stored on the surface and can suffer two processes: condensation and sublimation. During the condensation, the water returns to the soil as precipitation, and in sublimation, the surface water transits straightly to the solid phase. Once water passes by condensation, it can: return to bodies of water (rivers, ocean), be stored as ice, and be infiltered in underground areas. The underground water returns to the bodies of water, continuing the cicl
