- Synopsis
- The image shows the sky, a cross section through land, and the sea. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. The diagram is labelled and arrows show the direction of the water flow and the sun's heat. There is a rain cloud in the top left corner of the image. An arrow labelled â œprecipitationâ leads down to the start of a stream which flows right into a lake. Water from the lake flows right into a river, which flows right into the sea. An arrow labelled â œevaporationâ leads up from the sea, and back left to the rain cloud to complete the cycle. In the top right of the page a heavy arrow pointing down is labelled â œsunâ TMs heatâ , which is the cause of the evaporation. In the centre left there is an arrow pointing down which shows water percolating through the land. A rock layer labelled â œimpervious rock layerâ stops the water percolating further down, so it flows to the right towards the sea. In the centre right of the page an upward-pointing arrow shows transpiration from plants. This water vapour joins the evaporation from the sea and moves left to the rain cloud.
