Question

Write a paragraph that explains how a droplet of water that falls as rain can move through the atmosphere, the biosphere, the geosphere, and the hydrosphere. Be specific as you explain the processes (evaporation, condensation, transpiration) that occur because of interaction between Earth’s spheres.
In your response, be sure to…
• Give the state of matter that water is in as it moves through Earth’s systems
• Describe what processes occur to change water from one state of matter to another

Answer 1

The water cycle starts with evaporation. It is a process where water at the surface turns into water vapors. Water absorbs heat energy from the sun and turns into vapors. Water bodies like the oceans, the seas, the lakes, and the river bodies are the main source of evaporation. Through evaporation water  moves from hydrosphere to atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water vapor becomes liquid with the condensation process.Water from lakes and rivers is evaporated into the atmosphere.Water from living organisms is released through the transpiration process. It is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

We need to explain How water falls as rain and can move through the atmosphere, the biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere.

First Step: water is under condensation process, water vapor from the atmosphere transform in liquid, due to the weight and the weather conditions, liquid water will fas as rain. When water falls, we have two possible ways:

1- If waterfalls directly into a water source such as rivers, water will continue its cycle in liquid phase through the hydrosphere. Finally, the river should arrive at the sea. Water from the sea can be evaporated again and return to the atmosphere.

2- If water falls into the ground, geosphere or Biosphere. The water inside the ground can be taken by plants through their roots, so, water pass from the geosphere to the biosphere.

Finally, living organisms such as animals, humans, and plants can drink water through the mouth, the roots or the specialized organ. Water is released to the atmosphere through transpiration process of every single living organism.
