Name: Period: Date: The Water Cycle The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean, the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram. Use the words below to identify each process and write it on the lines provided. condensation root uptake percolation evaporation A runoff transpiration precipitation F D A D E F G

The control of water for irrigation and human use was a critical factor in developing all city-states throughout the world. Today, as the world’s environment changes, water has become a serious concern for billions of people. Very few cultures achieved the level of water control like the Inca and the cultures that preceded the Inca. From the Nasca irrigation system to the cleansing of water in Machu Picchu, the Inca developed water systems from the highest mountains to the coastal deserts. So the question is Explain thoroughly how the Inca Empire and the different techniques they used to control and clean water?
