Any 3 human Impacts on
the water Cycle
- Withdrawals
- Discharges
- Changing speed of waterflow
- Diverting rivers
- Deforestation
- Urbanisation (covering land so that water cannot pass)
what role do trees play in water cycle?
Store water and keep rainfall constant
What does deforestation do?
disrupts water
flow and
rainfall
increases flooding
define urbanisation
less natural land
and more infrastructure. the process by which large numbers of people become permanently concentrated in relatively small areas, forming cities.
What are flows in the Hydrological Cycle? How are they represented in a
diagram?
Flows are the movement of water from one store to another. They are represented by arrows.
What are stores in the Hydrological Cycle? How are they represented in a diagram?
Stores are places where water is stored for extended periods of time. It is represented by a box in the diagram.
3 Examples of Stores
Oceans
Ice Caps and Glaciers
Groundwater
Atmosphere
Lakes and Rivers
Soil Moisture
3 Examples of Flows
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Runoff
Infiltration
Transpiration
Percolation
Evotranspiration
