    The water cycle is the way water transforms from water to sleet to hail and and how the water falls, what it does when it hits the ground, and how it goes back up into the the sky. It is also known as the hydrologic cycle. Water helps us live, helps plants grow, and helps livestock live.
    Naturally forms in 3 different ways, a drop of water will last 9 days in the cycle,Ice is actually less dense than water, that is why icebergs float on waterWater has the highest surface tension of all liquids. Because water can form a "skin" precipitation is possible,1.2 billion people are at risk from drinking contaminated water.

    The water cycle is the cycling of water through the biosphere. It is also known as the hydrolic cycle. During this process water goes through different forms in the atmosphere on the ground; underground; in the ocean; and as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Water is important because it keeps every living thing on Earth alive. 5 facts about the water cycle are:
    -Water is the only substance on Earth that comes in a solid, liquid, or gas
    -Ice is less dense than water, which is why icebergs float
    -1.2 billion people are in danger of drinking contaminated water
    - Our blood is 83% water
    -Water has the highest surface tension of all liquids

    Water is always going through the water cycle. Water enters the atmosphere by a process known as evaporation, and then in condensation it forms clouds. Lastly, through precipitation the water falls back down to earth. This cycle then repeats itself over and over again. The water cycle is also called the hydrologic cycle. Water is the substance that keeps the earth alive. All life depends on water, we could only live 10 days without water.Water is the only substance on earth which comes in three different forms; liquid, solid and a gas. Ice is actually less dense than water, that is why icebergs float on water. Water is the "universal solvent". It dissolves more substances than any other liquid. 1.2 billion people are at risk from drinking contaminated water. The Hydrologic cycle in one day uses more energy than the humankind has created throughout it's entire history.

    The water cycle is the cycling of water through the biosphere it is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water comes in three natural forms liquid, solid, and gas.Water is important because all living organisms need it to survive. During the water cycle, water goes through three phases, precipitation, condensation, and evaporation. First, water is brought to the surface after it rains, which is precipitation. Then, the water evaporates, which is evaporation. Then condensation turns the water into clouds. Then the water cycle repeats itself over and over again.About 75% of the world is covered in water.

    1. That is correct, the water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle, but the reason for that is that the root hydro- means water.

      I agree that all organisms need water to survive. Plants need water to grow, humans need water because they are made up of mostly water, and animals need it for about the same reasons.

      The water cycle includes not three, but five steps. It also goes through accumulation (collection), where it builds up in water bodies, and transpiration, where plants let it evaporate out of their leaves.

    We learned that water come in 3 different forms: solid, liquid, and gas.The water cycle is also known as hydrolic cycle. When the water cycle occurs water goes up to the sky in tiny drops, forms a cloud and then rains down on earth. Water is important because it helps us in our daily lives. 5 important facts:
    - Water has the highest surface tension of all liquids. Because water can form a "skin" precipitation is possible.
    -There is no force which exists that can compress water. Meaning nothing could press water into an ice cube.
    -Water is the only substance on earth which comes in three different forms; liquid, solid and a gas.
    -Ice is actually less dense than water, that is why icebergs float on water.
    -Our tooth enamel is the driest part of our body at 2% water.

  8. The water cycle (hydrologic cycle)happens to every drop of water on this earth. It is the way water gets from one form to the other and cycles threw the biosphere. Well it starts out as water then evaporates. Then begins to collect and form clouds. Then it will come back down to the earth as snow, rain, sleet or hail.
    5 facts
    -Our teeth enamel is the driest part of our body with only 2% of water.
    -Ice is less dense than water. So icebergs float.
    -1.2 billion people are at risk of drinking contaminated water.
    -water is the only substance on earth that can take 3 forms.
    -Water is the "universal solvent." It dissolves more things than any other liquid.

    Wow. We didn't know that you could only go 10 days without water! We knew that you couldn't go long without water, but 10 days is shorter than what we thought. We also find it interesting that huge ice bergs are less dense than water, and that they can float on water.

  15. I learned that the water cycle is powered by the sun, because the sun gives the heat energy necessary for water to evaporate. The water cycle is also called the hydrological cycle. In this process, water evaporates, or becomes water vapor, condenses into clouds, precipitates in rain, snow, sleet, or hail, and accumulates, or collects, into water bodies, to start the cycle over.

    Water Facts:
    ~Our blood is 65% water.
    ~Our teeth enamel is 2% water.
    ~97% of the water on earth is undrinkable seawater.

    The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water cycle is how water turns into a solid, liquid, and gas. The sun evaporates water from rivers and oceans, the water vapor forms clouds as it gathers in the sky, and then when it rains or precipitates the water returns to rivers... and starts again. We learned that the water cycle in one day uses more energy than the humankind has created throughout it's entire life, our blood is 83% water, the wettest part of our body, our teeth enamel is 2% water, there is no force that can compress water, water has the highest tension of all liquids.

    The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, involves the cycling of water through the biosphere. Water naturally exists in 3 forms: solid, liquid, and gas. Water constantly cycles through these forms while in the atmosphere (as water vapor or condensed as clouds), on the ground (as liquid water or snow), undergound (as groundwater), in the ocean, and as precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc.). Water enters the atmosphere by a process known as evaporation, and then in condensation it forms clouds. Lastly, through precipitation the water falls back down to earth..

    We learned that that there are 3 types of water formations liquid,solid, and gas.hydrologic is another name for the water cycle. for the process of the water cycle it begins by the water coming into the atmosphere by evaporation then it starts to form the clouds then the water falls back into the earth and the process begins again. Water is important because in order to survive we need to drink water, and our body is made up of water.Ice is less dense than water is, so it floats on the water. water has the highest surface tension of all liquids because it can form a skin. our blood is 83% water the wettest spot in our body. our tooth enamel is the driest part of our body at 2%. 1.2 billion people are at risk to drinking contaminated water.

It is also known as the hydrologic cycle. Water helps us live, helps plants grow, and helps livestock live.Naturally forms in three different ways, a drop of water will last nine days in the cycle,Ice is actually less dense than water, that is why icebergs float on water has the highest surface tension of all liquids.

    It involves cycling in the biosphere. The water cycle is also known as hydrologic cycle. The cycle of water happens when water enters the atmosphere or evaporation and then in condensation it forms clouds. Through precipitation the water falls back down to earth. This cycle keeps repeating itself over and over again. Water is extremely important to human civilization. We use water for everything and we use it everyday.

    What we learned from the water cycle was that water rains from the sky on to the ground and then evaporates back up into the clouds. The water cycle is what tells us how water is reused and reused and is the same water from even the dinosaurs period. In the process of the water cycle the water in the clouds get dirt in it and the droplets get heavy and fall from the ground and then when it is sunny the rain evaporates back up in the air into the clouds. The water cycle is also called the hydrologic cycle. Water is so important because everything on earth needs water to survive. 5 important facts about the water cycle is that 1.2 billion people are at risk from drinking contaminated water. Another fact is that our blood is 65% water. 97% of the water on earth is undrinkable seawater. Also Water is the only substance that can exist in all three states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.

The oldest freshwater lake is 30 million years old. Water is Earth's only substance that can be both a liquid, solid, and a gas. That is all... did you enjoy our blog?

    We learned that the water cycle cant handle more water than when it rains.1.Most people don't know that our bodies are made up of 65% water like 2.the ocean is 75% of water on the Earth.3.water is the only liquid that come in three different forms ( solid liquid gas)4.Water has the highest tension of all liquids because water can form a skin precipitation is possible.5.over 36,000 dams have been built to provide hydroelectric power drinking water irrigation industrial supplies and control floods 6:1.2 billion. people are at risk from drinking contaminated water 7.If 4% of the world's military expenditures (36billion dollars) was saved each years, all of humanity would have clean drinking water and a sanitary way of disposing waste.The water cycle is also called the hydrologic system

    I lernd that the water on the earth has been here when the earth was formed. Where the water is changed into diferent forms.It is also called hydrologic cycle. The water is changed into a gas then it is combined with dust and it form a cloud after so much water is gatherd it comes down in water. Whater is so important because all living things need water. As the years pass water is becoming more and more scarce and yet it is in demand more than ever. By the year 2025 it is estimated that over 1/3 of the worlds freshwater will be gone. Already 26 countries, home to 232 million people are considered to be "water-scarce", meaning they don't have 1,000 cubic meters of water for one person for one day. Not only are countries water-scarce but a lot of their drinking water is contaminated. In Haiti, a water-scarce country, one in five Haitians has access to water which is actually safe to drink. Here people will dig in the sand until they reach a pool of seawater which has been filtered by the sand, scoop it up and drink it.

  41. We learned that water comes in 3 forms. The cycling of water through the biosphere.It is also called the hydrologic cycle. Water is so important because we need it to live with out it we would die.The things that happen during this process is evaporation then condensation then precipitation. Five important facts are that our bodies are made of 65% water. And that water comes in 3 forms,and that our blood is 83% water our wettest part of our body. There is no force which exists that can compress water. And 1.2 billion people are at risk of drinking contaminated water.Thanks that is all for today folks see you next time at 45 minutes.
