LESSON 1 Flashcards
IT IS THE STUDY OF WATERS OF THE EARTH SUCH AS ITS OCCURENCE, CIRCULATION, DISTRIBUTION, PROPERTIES, AND REACTIONG WITH ENVIRONMENT
HYDROLOGY
IT IS THE STUDY OF ATMOSPHERE
METEOROLOGY
IT IS THE STUDY OF WATER AND ATMOSPHERE
HYDROMETEOROLOGY
SOURCES OF WATER
ATMOSPHERIC WATER
SURFACE WATER
SUBSURFACE WATER/UNDERGROUND WATER
PRECIPITATION (RAIN) FROM ATMOSPHERE
ATMOSPHERIC WATER
IT IS THE WATER ABOVE SURFACES OF EARTH (RIVERS, SEAS, AND OCEANS)
SURFACE WATER
IT IS THE WATER BELOW SURFACE OF THE EARTH
SUBSURFACE / GROUNDWATER
WHAT IS THE DISTRIBUTION OF WORLD’S WATER SUPPLY?
97.5% SALINE WATER/ SALT WATER
2.5% FRESH WATER
FRESH WATER IS FURTHER DIVIDED TO 3 COMPOSITIONS:
ICE AND SNOW - 68.7%
GROUNDWATER - 30.9%
LAKES AND RIVERS - 0.4%
IT IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER
GROUNDWATER
AN ENVOLOPE OF GASES SURROUNDING THE EARTH AND BOUND TO IT PERMANENTLY BY GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE
WHAT COMPOSE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE?
DRY AIR, WATER VAPOR, AND IMPURITIES
WHAT COMPOSE CLEAN DRY AIR AND ITS PERCENTAGE?
NITROGEN - 78.08%
OXYGEN - 20.95%
ARGON - 0.93%
CARBON DIOXIDE - 0.03%
OTHERS (NEON, HELIUM, KRYPTON, AND SO ON) < 0.01%
AGENTS OR MEDIUM OF HEAT TRANSFER IN THE ATMOSPHERE
WATER VAPOR
MOST ABUNDANT GREEN HOUSE GASES
WATER VAPOR
TRUE OR FALSE
NOT ALL GREENHOUSE GASES ARE BAD TO EARTH’S ATMOSHPERE.
TRUE
WHAT COMPOSE EARTH’S IMPURITIES
CARBON DIOXIDE 70%
METHANE 27%
NITROUS OXIDE 3%
LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE AND DISTANCE FROM THE MSL
TROPOSPHERE: PHENOMENON OF WEATHER AND CLIMATE OCCURS HERE MSL TO 10KM
STRATOSPHERE: 10KM TO 50KM
MESOSPHERE: 50KM TO 90KM
THERMOSPHERE: 90KM TO 120KM
EXOSPHERE: 120KM
TRUE OR FALSE
AS YOU GO HIGHER THE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE INCREASES
FALSE, DECREASES
IT DEALS WITH THE STORAGE, MOVEMENT, TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORMATION OF WATER IN EARTH
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE OR WATER CYCLE
WATER IS STORED IN
ATMOSPHERE - WATER VAPOR
SOIL - SOIL MOISTURE
SURFACE WATER - SEAS, OCEAN, STREAMS
PLANTS AND ANIMALS
GROUNDWATER
MAJOR PROCESSES IN HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
EVAPORATION
TRANSPIRATION
CONDENSATION
PRECIPITATION
RUNOFF
INFILTRATION
GROUNDWATER FLOW
FROM SURFACE WATER TO ATMOSPHERE (LIQUID TO GAS)
EVAPORATION
FROM PLANTS AND ANIMALS TO ATMOSPHERE
TRANSPIRATION
GAS TO LIQUID
CONDENSATION
FROM ATMOSPHERIC WATER TO LAND AND SURFACE WATER
PRECIPITATION (RAIN)
WATER FLOWS ON LAND SURFACE OR SUBSURFACE
RUNOFF
WATER ENTERS SOIL SURFACE
INFILTRATION
WATER FLOWS BENEATH SOIL SURFACE AND STORES IN ROCK FORMATION
GROUND WATER FLOW
TRUE OR FALSE
THE CYCLE DOESN’T MOVE STEADILY IN A CONSTANT RATE.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
MOVEMENT OF WATER IS NORMAL IN TIME AND OVER AREA
FALSE, ERRATIC
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE MAY BE AFFECTED BY 3 PHENOMENON
DROUGHT
TORRENTIAL RAINS
EL NINO/LA NINA
