18 paź 2024 · Transpiration is the evaporation of water through minute pores, or stomata, in the leaves of plants. For practical purposes, transpiration and the evaporation from all water, soils, snow, ice, vegetation, and other surfaces are lumped together and called evapotranspiration, or total evaporation.

17 maj 2023 · Water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, involves a series of stages that show the continuous movement and interchange of water between its three phases – solid, liquid, and gas, in the earth’s atmosphere. The sun acts as the primary source of energy that powers the water cycle on earth.
During evaporation, water changes from liquid water to water vapor (a gas). Water also moves into the atmosphere by transpiration, or the evaporation of water from plants. Both evaporation and transpiration are driven by the sun’s energy. Water forms clouds in the atmosphere by condensation.
10 sie 2024 · Transpiration: Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants into the atmosphere. Plants absorb water from the soil and release it through small openings in their leaves known as stomata. Sublimation: This is the process where ice and snow directly convert into water vapor without first melting into liquid water.
The water cycle, or hydrologic cycle, is driven by the Sun’s energy. The sun warms the ocean surface and other surface water, causing liquid water to evaporate and ice to sublime—turn directly from a solid to a gas. These sun-driven processes move water into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.
A detailed diagram depicting the global water cycle. The direction of movement of water between reservoirs tends towards upwards movement through evapotranspiration and downward movement through gravity. The diagram also shows how human water use impacts where water is stored and how it moves. [1]
