GGR206H1 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Lapse Rate, Groundwater Recharge, Water Cycle
Document Summary
Hydrology is the science dealing with the waters of the earth, their occurrences, distributions and circulation, their chemical and physical properties and their interaction with the environment. And halley showed that the total flow of springs and rivers could be more than accounted for by evaporation from the oceans. Challenge of modeling the global atmospheric and hydrosphere circulation in order to better predict the hydrological and other consequences of climate variability and climate change. 1. 3 the hydrological cycle and system the interdependence and continuous movement of all phases of water (ie liquid, solid, and gas form the basis of the hydrology cycle) Each drainage basin can be regarded as an individual system receiving quantifiable inputs of precipitation and transforming these via various flows and storages, into quantifiable outputs of evaporation and stream flow. Virtually every component of the drainage basin hydrological system may be modified by human activity.
