Water on the Land - The hydrological cycle 0.0 / 5 ? GeographyWater and riversGCSEAQA Created by: 12BECreated on: 07-05-17 09:57 What is the input in the hydrological cycle? Precipitation 1 of 15 What are the 2 outputs in the hydrological cycle? Evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration) 2 of 15 What are the 2 transfers in the hydrological cycle? Infiltration and percolation 3 of 15 What are the 3 flows in the hydrological cycle? Overland flow (surface runoff), through flow and groundwater flow 4 of 15 What are the 4 types of storage in the hydrological cycle? Interception, groundwater storage, soil moisture storage and surface storage 5 of 15 What is precipitation? Rain, snow, sleet, hail etc. 6 of 15 What is infiltration? Water moving from the surface to the soil 7 of 15 What is condensation? Changing from a gas to a liquid. This is how clouds are formed 8 of 15 What is transpiration? Water evaporating from the surface of a plant, especially its leaves 9 of 15 What is through flow? The movement of water through soil to the river channel. This is slower than overland flow 10 of 15 What is interception? Precipitation that doesnt reach the ground and is taken up by vegetation 11 of 15 What is surface runoff? The movement of water over the soil to the river channel. This is the fastest movement of water 12 of 15 What is evaporation? Liquid turning into a gas 13 of 15 What is groundwater flow? The movement of water through rock to the river channel. This is very slow 14 of 15 What is percolation? Water moving from the soil into rock 15 of 15
