precipitation. The water cycle also helps regulate and control temperature, which in turn helps regulate weather patterns. The basic water cycle may be viewed as a four stage model: Evaporation (transpiration) Heat from the sun warms water from rivers, lakes, and the ocean to turn into vapor or steam; leaving the reservoir and moving upwards into the atmosphere. (Plants transpire, or lose water from their leaves). Condensation As the evaporated water vapor gets colder rising into the atmosphere, it changes

it needs to survive. LAKES AND WATER Acid rain can damage the water and the wildlife in lakes. A lake that has been affected by acid rain looks clean and crystal clear, but contains no life. Most wild plants and animals that live in clean, unpolluted lakes cannot live in acid waters. Fish are poisoned by the aluminium which is washed out of the ground into the lakes. Lakes also receive rainfall directly from the sky. A healthy lake has a pH of around 6.5 and

The birds started chirping as we talked. “You’ve got to get up! We’re going to go swimming at the lake!” Kate exclaimed. She ran out the front of the tent to wake the others. My twin, who had been sharing the tent with me, was already up and at the bathroom. Feeling as heavy as a rock, I forced myself to stand up and start to get my stuff together

The skin on my left hip was almost completely scraped off, but I was going to do it again. I wasn’t going to give up. Gaining speed down the hill with a huge smile on my face, I knew that I would get it this time. As I quickly turned the bike’s handlebars, my shoe laces got caught in the pedal. At the age of five, I was unaware of Newton’s first law of motion: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by

summer and you are dying to get outside and do something fun to relax. First things first, you must pack the essentials. Food (probably more than you need), a bathing suit and of course, a fishing pole. Now, you are ready for a trip to your favorite lake.

She carefully untied the ribbon, and opened up the pouch. Inside was a small crystal, with a chain attached. She decided to examine this more in the light, so she continued to walk her usual route

present fluoride in water combines with these other elements as water passes over or through rocks and minerals. Typically, underground water sources, such as the aquifer, will have higher levels of fluoride than surface water sources such as rivers and lakes. Across the United States, the “natural levels of fluoride can vary between very minute quantities to over 4 mg/L” (ADA 2005). In addition,

come from the atmosphere, entities such humans, or in the case of the water cycle, the sun is the source of energy (US Department of Commerce, n.d). During the hydrologic cycle, evaporation occurs when the sun interacts with liquid water such has lakes and rivers, the ocean and soil, to cause water particles to become water vapour by heating the water (National Geographic Society, n.d; Miller & Spoolman,
