OPTION 2 SEMINAR BY DIEDRE JOHNSON The Water Cycle: The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again. The Sun's heat provides energy to evaporate water from the Earth's surface (oceans, lakes, etc.). Plants also lose water to the air (this is called transpiration). The water vapor eventually condenses, forming tiny droplets in clouds. When the clouds meet cool air over land, precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) is triggered, and water returns to the land (or sea).
<br> The Gihon spring served as the primary source of water for Biblical Jerusalem. From the fountainhead of the spring, a number of waterworks were built throughout the Judean period, to transport the Gihon waters and to safeguard access to the city's water source. These included the Shiloah Tunnel, which ran outside the city, and the Hezekiah Tunnel, which took a very twisted pathway, inside the mountain itself. It was apparently built along a crack
Explain how you determined this. Accept/reject = I would accept, the reason for me accepting my hypothesis is because when the heat was placed the water began to evaporate quicker. 3. What parts of the water cycle are represented in this experiment? Answer = condensation, evaporation and precipitation.
Final Essay Exam GEOL 108 1. Describe the paths of water through the hydrologic cycle. Explain the processes and the energy gains and losses involved in the changes of water between its 3 states. Operationally, we often most concerned with water does when it reaches the solid earth, both on the surface and in the sub-surface. Explain the relationship between the saturated zone, the water table, a ground water well and the cone of depression, all within the sub-surface.

For instance, determining, preventing, and mitigating the levels of polluting contaminants in Canadian waters is a major regulation issue (Environment Canada, 2012). Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act has allowed government bodies to regulate the presence of substances with deleterious environmental effects e.g. the phosphate found in laundry detergents (Environment Canada, 2012). Furthermore, the Canada-Ontario Agreement of 2002 (a broad law) envisages creating a respectable and sustainable usage and regulation of the Great Lakes and their Ecosystem, which are a vital Canadian water source (Fitzgibbon & Bruce,

Reverse osmosis can remove many types of molecules and ions from solutions and is used in both industrial processes and to produce potable water. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. Applications • Drinking water purification Water filters at home have now evolved to water purifiers consisting of an RO system to remove dirt and dust, and an optional UV system to kill microbes • Water and wastewater purification Rain water collected from storm drains is purified with reverse osmosis water processors and used for landscape irrigation as a solution to the problem of water shortages. • Food industry reverse osmosis is an operation for concentrating food liquids (such as fruit juices) It is used to make whey protein powders too. • Reef aquariums Many reef aquarium keepers use reverse osmosis systems for their artificial mixture of seawater.
