What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is a cycle that includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation and transpiration. The water cycle is a continues cycle of water from the ground to the air and back to the ground.
Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water and the water turns into water vapour. The water vapour or steam goes into the air and forms clouds. The snowy mountain scheme benefits from low evaporation due to cold temperatures.
Condensation is when the water vapour in the air gets cold and turns back into water. You can also do an experiment on this. If you get a cold glass of water and then it looks like the glass of water has started to sweat. But it’s not. Because the water is cold so the water vapour on the air turns back into water when it comes in contact with the cold glass of water.
Precipitation is when it rains. This also happens in the form of snow, hail or sleet. Rain falls to the ground when there is so much water in the clouds that the cloud can’t hold it anymore and so it starts to rain, snow hail. If you don’t know what sleet is. Sleet is not liquid enough to be water but is not hard enough to be snow or hail. This is good for the snowy mountain scheme because more precipitation, more rain and more water to fill the dames.
Transpiration is when plants sweat. When plants sweat the sweats evaporates and goes throw the water cycle similar to evaporation. This is good for the snowy mountain scheme because the more plants sweat the more evaporation and more precipitation which means more electricity.
