5 continued Lesson 2 Interactions of Earth Systems LA6223, SC6E61, SC6E72, SC6E74, SC6E76, SC6N11, SC6N34 Skim or scan the heading, boldfaced words, and pictures in the lesson Identify or predict three facts you will learn from the lesson Discuss your thoughts with a classmate The Water Cycle 21 Order the relationship between thermal energy and the physical state of water Condensation Evaporation water vapor water vapor Study Guide Study Guide 22 Sample answers are shown 42 Our Planet Earth thermal energy released 4 liquid water thermal energy absorbed liquid water Interpret the illustration of the water cycle Use the terms to the right of the picture in your explanations hydrosphere atmosphere geosphere biosphere Description of Water Cycle Processes 1 Liquid water in the hydrosphere evaporates into the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds 2 Precipitation falls from the atmosphere to the surface of the geosphere 3 Transpiration and respiration from organisms in the biosphere release water vapor into the atmosphere 4 Water flows over the surface of the geosphere and flows into lakes and oceans; some soaks into the ground Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc 42 Our Planet Earth

6 continued Lesson 2 Interactions of Earth Systems (continued) 22 Explain five processes that occur within the water cycle NGSSS Check How do Earth systems interact in the water cycle? SC6E74 Water moves between the hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere through the Process Evaporation Transpiration Respiration Explanation Liquid water changes into gas Plants release water vapor through their pores Animals release water vapor from their lungs when they breathe Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc processes of evaporation, condensation, transpiration, and precipitation Changes in the Atmosphere 24 NGSSS Check How does weather show interactions of Earth systems? SC6E74 The hydrosphere provides much of the water for cloud formation and precipitation in the atmosphere Air masses take on the characteristics of the area over which they form, such as a hot, dry desert Condensation Precipitation Describe factors that influence weather Factor Air temperature Air pressure Wind Humidity Description Relate how weather is influenced by conditions in the geosphere and the hydrosphere Accept all reasonable responses Sample answer: Air masses take on the characteristics of the areas over which they form Therefore, weather is determined by an air mass s formation over land or water and the warmth or coolness of that land or water Water vapor changes to liquid water Moisture falls from clouds to Earth s surface average amount of energy produced by the motion of air molecules the force exerted by air molecules in all directions the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure the amount of water vapor in a given volume of air Our Planet Earth 43 Study Guide Study Guide Our Planet Earth 43
