The groundwater cycle (aka water cycle) is the process in which water is cycled from the sky to the ground and back.

First, it moisture in the atmosphere <u>condenses</u> and falls in the form of <u>precipitation</u> (snow, rain, hail). Once it reaches a surface, it is either <em>absorbed by the ground</em> or <em>runs off</em>. This is where the road splits briefly.

Ultimately, the <em>runoff</em> will reach a large body of water and the <em>absorbed water</em> infiltrates the groundwater. The runoff water, now grouped into a larger body, will start to <u>evaporate</u> and reach the atmosphere, completing its cycle. The groundwater on the other hand has one more step; after it reaches the groundwater, plants and trees will use it in the process of photosynthesis. After this, <u>transpiration</u> occurs, and the water in the plant's roots reaches leaves, where it turns to vapor, and goes back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.

This cycle constantly goes on, and is why there is so much water and precipitation on Earth. For further reference, check the illustration below!

The ground water cycle is also know as the water cycle. There are many different parts.

Cloud formation- water vapor collects together and forms clouds.

Precipitation- Water fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

How did scientists determine SM0313 is the oldest star ever discovered?
levacccp [35]

i think it has to do with how old it looks, because a star starts off as a baby little star, a different color and size. its also in a nursery with a lot of other stars, which is called a nebula. as the stars grow older and larger, they change color and drift apart. the scientists must've seen that the star has a totally different color from the baby ones, way brighter and much larger, also seeing that stars grow apart, it has not really many stars living around it for miles and miles. they must've guessed that it was probably really old.

Which statement describes a disadvantage of nonrenewable resources?
Nataly_w [17]
D) It is difficult to change the habit of using the resource

A major disadvantage of non-renewable energy is the challenge of breaking humans of their habit of leaning on it. The Union of Concerned Scientists reports it's an uphill battle to sway consumers that the so-called "public goods" of renewable energy, such as reducing pollution for everyone, may not be enough to convince them to pay more for cleaner energy.
