1Oceans (Store)
Largest store, mostly in liquid form with some ice bergs
2Cryosphere (Store)
Second largest store .All frozen water including ice and permafrost. Mostly found in solid state exept some in liquid from as ice melt and lakes
3Rivers and Lakes (Store)
Fourth largest water store. often known as blue water
4Ground water (Store)
Third largest water store. Water travels into the ground through infiltration and perculation
5Soil Moisture and vegetation (Store)
Fith largest water store. Water collects in the soil theough infiltration and vegetation water is captured through intersception
6Atmospheric Moisture (Store)
Smallest water store. water is truned into vapr through evaporation and collects in counds when condensed
7Residence Time
The average length of time a water molecule spends inside a specific resevoir (store) before moving to another part of the system
8Precipitation (name difrent types) (Flow)
Rain - Convectional, frontal or orthographic
9Surface runoff (Flow)
Water running on the upmost surface of the land in rivers lakes streams etc
10Evaporation (Flow)
when water heats up it turns from liquid form to vapor or moisture and rises
11Transpiration (Flow)
When water is collected in a plant and travels through the plant and evaporates through its stomata
12Percolation (Flow)
The deeper seeping of water into the ground collecting as ground water or in aquifers.
13Vapor transport (Process)
The transport of water vapor with the trade winds or local winds
14Cryospheric Processes (Process)
Natural changes in the earth or natural enviroment that affect the ammount of frozen water or ice in the world or area
15Fluxes (Flow)
Contnious movements or forces that help water melt or flow
16Intersception (Flow)
when plants and vegetation catch the water to store and use
17Throughflow (Flow)
the flow of water underground down a hill or towards a water store
18infiltration (Flow)
the slow seeping of water in the upper surace of the land
19What are the factors needed for precipitation to occur and what can speed it up
- Air cooled to a saturation point with reletive humidity od 100%
- Temperature below dew point - warmer it is the harder for vapor to condense and vice versa
- condensation nuceli wich as dust particles aid to the growth of droplets in clouds and speed up precipitation process
