The Story Of The Water Cycle : A Short Story

At the start of my journalistic investigation I stumbled upon a 2010 documentary by the explorer Wes Skiles titled Water’s Journey. The short film is available online free of charge and follows a scientific team of four as they traverse the Florida aquifer in real time. The goal of their mission was to explore and extensively map the inside of the Florida Aquifer for the first time. The four individuals on this groundbreaking mission included Tom Morris, a cave explorer and biologist, Jill Heinerth, a technical dive specialist, the Wes Skiles, and electromagnetics expert Brian Pease. Pease designed a revolutionary transmitter that was able to send signals through Florida’s solid rock and water below, which allowed for him and Skiles on the surface to actively track Morris and Heinerth as they explored the depths below.

The doctor struggled for a minute but was able to get a beat on him again. As Luke reached the water, he stopped and began writing down something on the pad of paper he took with him, he held it up in the air, then began reading aloud what was on the pad of paper, "The air is fine. I'm going to check the water now." From his viewpoint, the doctor watched in horror as the wild dogs began to zero in on Luke. Unbeknownst to Luke, he dipped not one but three Ph strips in the water. As he pulled them out the doctor could see, to his bewilderment, the strips were all light green.

While reading chapter 17 I read and was interested about water. The earth is covered with mostly water, compared to actual land. To be exact 71 percent of the earth is water where as the land mass is 29 percent. While reading the chapter a topic that caught my attention was where it talked about the water cycles. I think this would be an important factor the the water system/or to write about because without the water cycles we probably wouldn't have any water. One example of a cycle would be the hydrologic cycle this is where water runs off into the oceans, lakes, or rivers, whether it be above ground in rivers, or streams or underneath the ground. Another example is precipitation which most people know as snow, rain, sleet, hail. Precipitation

Once upon a time there lived a farmer and his pet dog Sabel. The farmer's name was Dan, Dan Diordi Dan Diordi lived on a small farm with his wife Marilyn, and his kids Jacob and Noël. Jacob was a tall thin blond boy, Noël was a also tall thin and blond, just like everyone else in the family except Dan. Dan was also tall and thin but he had messy brown hair instead of blond hair. One friday Dan went out to feed the chickens when all of a sudden KABOOM! There was a very loud explosion and Dan saw a mushroom cloud in the distance, but this wasn't like any normal explosion it was green with a giant black and purple thing flying over top of it. Dan rushed his family into the storm shelter where they stayed the night and they awoke to loud knocking

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the process by which water moves from place to place above, on, and below the Earth's surface. This is the process by which water moves around the Earth to different places. The total amount of water on the Earth is relatively unchanging, and it has remained about the same since our planet's formation. As the planet cooled, water vapor present at its formation condensed to fill the oceans and other places, like inland lakes and rivers.

Brian’s coach nodded and drove off. Brian started heading home and pedaled as fast as he could to avoid the rain that was coming his way. The bright sunny sky had darkened to gray. Soon enough, it started raining. Brian began to regret his offer from his coach, the dirt roads soon became muddy roads and it was difficult for Brian to ride up the hill. Thunder began and Brian was so startled that he slid among the muddy hill. Brian fell down with his bike and rolled down the hill for what seemed like forever. He hit his knee on a rock and finally ended up at the bottom of the hill where the woods were. He laid there with small bloody cuts on his face from the sticks he rolled on. Brian opened his eyes and was still trying to process what just happened. He felt pain on his knee and saw that blood was on his baseball pants. Brian rolled up his pants and saw a long gash on his knee. He slowly got up and was grunting from the pain. Brian was too weak to grab a towel from his red baseball bag that was on top of the hill. He knew he would slip going up the muddy hill and his knee would make it difficult to walk. Brian stayed sitting on the ground for a while to build up strength. The rain stopped and the sky was dark. Brian eyes started to feel heavy and felt like falling asleep when he heard a stick break. He quickly opened his eyes to see what it

Thunderjaw was very interested when his parents had told him this. The days passed and he was still interested in the subject. One day as he was mining for metal he heard a scream.Then he heard more people scream. He rushed over with his pike to see what all the commotion was all about. His mother came too, There was some kind of green thing that was coming out of the ceiling. “Grass,” said Thunderjaw’s mother. It was a really weird word for evryone.”Grass?” everyone asked at once.”Yes,” she replied, “when you discover the green go up,” she murmured. Thunderjaw asked his mom about the grass he was very confused.”Edos” she yelled,”Bring the the drill.” Edos was Tunderjaw’s father. He was a great dad and a great person. He brought out some weird machines. He gave them to Thunderjaw and told him to go follow his destiny.Thunderjaw was very confused, he asked his parents lots of questions but they did not answer him. They told him that he would soon find out. They taught him how to use the drill and a mechanical crossbow. They went to the spot where they found the grass and they told him to dig. Everyone from the tribe was there as he dug through the

The dwarfs somehow have magical weapons that can fit into their shoes. They pull them out and there HUGE. “WOW”, Lio and Everest say. The dwarfs scare off Ash and he goes away. “Let's go home now”, Lio and Everest say. They go to the door and are about to go, but it won’t open. They ask Dream “What’s wrong why won't the door open?” “Oh no,” says dream, “the giant has the key”, “Get him!” The dwarfs soon realize what happened and go after the giant with their tiny cars. Finally, when they catch up with Ash they go up to his ear and yell, “Halt!” Then they ask him. “Do you have the key to the door?” “YES I DO” Ash bellows. “Why did you steal it?” questions Dream. Ash says “Because I am mad at dwarf people.” “Why?” said June. “We didn't mean to hurt you, we just needed to scare you off so you didn't hurt us.” “No No, I attacked you because you killed off my family the last time they came.” June says “I am so so sorry. You all look the same and I did not think I was killing your family.” Then the dwarfs say sorry and they get the key back. Ash and the Dwarfs are now friends and no longer enemies. They go back to Dwarf Elm and then unlock the door. Everyone says “Bye. We enjoyed your visit.” The fairy leads Lio and Everest home and

Iris and the moon god were in love while the sun god is in love with Iris. The sun god tried convincing Iris to leave the moon god but she refused. The moon god found out the sun god was in love with Iris and he got furious. He demanded to fight with the sun god and the sun god approved the fight pridefully. When they were fighting the sun gods powers were to strong for the moon god to handle. Iris was shedding tears as she watched. The sun god turned the moon god into stone and threw him to the Earth. The moon god shattered when he hit the ground and shiny grey dust flew into the air. When the moon god hit the ground it made a loud crashing noise. Animals around the area were afraid and ran away. The dust fell into a lake of water. There were

It was a peacedul day the sky was blue, the sun was shining, but by the ocean lay three huge mountains, and the tallest one Mr. Mountain had to sneeze. When Mr. Mountain sneezes it's not a nice cute little sneeze it's a gigantic and loud sneeze, it's such an obnoxious sneeze that he actually blew his top off!!! When Mr. Mountain blew his top off all those sediments from his top cemented together and formed Little Rocky Jr. Over time Rocky started not feeling well, he was started to fall apart ( haha get it because he's a sedimentary rock and the sediments fall off... bad joke I know), so he decided to go find the Magical Cave of Wonders. While he was walking, Rocky stumbled upon a magical unicorn named Felipe that said that he would help Rocky

There was a point in time where no human or god had walked the surface of the earth. Until where the land met the sea, a mare was born. She was made of white sea-foam and her name was Eiocha. Somewhere nearby a oak tree grew tall and strong. The oak tree provided seeds and berries for Eiocha. Eiocha kept eating the seeds and berries until one day she gave birth to a god. The god's name was Cernunnos. When Eiocha gave birth to Cernunnos the pain was so great that she stripped the bark of the tree and threw it into the ocean. The bark was transformed by the sea and became the giants of the deep.

HYDROLOGIC CYCLE The hydrologic cycle is a constant movement of water above, on, and below the earth's surface. It is a cycle that replenishes ground water supplies. It begins as water vaporizes into the atmosphere from vegetation, soil, lakes, rivers, snowfields and oceans-a process called evapotranspiration. As the water vapor rises it condenses to form clouds that return water to the land through precipitation: rain, snow, or hail. Precipitation falls on the earth and either percolates into the soil or flows across the ground. Usually it does both. When precipitation percolates into the soil it is called infiltration when it flows across the ground it is called surface run off. The amount of precipitation that infiltrates, versus the

Water is the lifeblood of every living creature on earth. Approximately 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water. Thought the wonders of nature, water can take on many different forms, form the water we drink, to the ice we use to chill a glass of lemonade, to the water vapor used to steam clean equipment equipment. It is easy to understand the significance water plays in our lives, but it may be much more difficult ot understand the water that exists below the earth's surface, called groundwater.

Streamflow is one of the essential components to understand the hydrological cycle and water budget equation in earth system. Climate change can affect the streamflow in many ways. Periodic increases in winter and early spring streamflows as well as higher frequency of intense storms will produce increase amount of streamflow in river channels (Miller et al., 2003; Jha et al. 2004). Land use land cover change also affect the base flow and peak flow which can cause flash flood in urban areas (Rose and Peters, 2001, Shulenberger et al., 2008, Wang and Cai, 2009). On the other hand declination of snow pack and increases in the frequency and extent of droughts will reduce annual streamflows. In addition, some plants and animals (such as fish that migrate) depend on a particular pattern of streamflow as part of their life cycles (EPA, 2014). The measurement of quality and quantity of streamflow is important for various purposes. Reliable streamflow information is needed for flood warnings and forecasts, irrigation withdrawals, wastewater discharges and reservoir releases, preservation of aquatic habitats, water quality standards, infrastructure designs for bridges, dams, and levees and for scientific investigations of climate change impact on hydrological components (USGS, 2013).
