1-1Chapter 1-Answer KeyCONCEPT CHECK1.1What is the hydrologic cycle? What are the pathways that precipitation falling onto the landsurface of the Earth is dispersed to the hydrologic cycle?ANSWER:The hydrologic cycle is a continuous process in which water is evaporated from water surfacesand the oceans, moves inland as moist are masses, and produces precipitation if the correctvertical lifting conditions exist.A portion of precipitation (rainfall) is retained in the soil near where it falls and returns to theatmosphere via evaporation (the conversion of water to water vapor from a water surface) andtranspiration (the loss of water vapor through plant tissue and leaves). Combined loss is calledevapotranspiration and is a maximum value if the water supply in the soil is adequate at all times.Some water enters the soil system in infiltration which is a function of soil moisture conditionsand soil and may reenter channels later as interflow or may percolate to recharge the shallowground water. The remaining portion of precipitation becomes overland flow or direct runoffwhich flows generally in a down-gradient direction to accumulate in local streams that then flowinto rivers.
