Level 3: Synthesis/Evaluation

9. DRAW IT (a) Draw a simplified global water cycle showing ocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to the ocean. Label your drawing with these annual water fluxes:

■ ocean evaporation, 425 km3

■ ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation, 385 kin3

■ ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km3

■ evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70km3

■ runoff to the oceans, 40 km3

(b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) How would this ratio change during an ice age. and why?

Name: Period: Date: The Water Cycle The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean, the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram. Use the words below to identify each process and write it on the lines provided. condensation root uptake percolation evaporation A runoff transpiration precipitation F D A D F

CASE STUDY CONNECTION California’s governor has put you in charge of water policy for the state. Aquifers beneath the state have been overpumped, and many wells have run dry. Agricultural production in the state is down, and farmers are clamoring for you to do something. Meanwhile, more water is needed for burgeoning urban populations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. What policies would you consider to restore California’s water supply? Would you try to take steps to increase supply, decrease demand, or both? Explain why you would choose such policies.
