    TAKS Objective 5: The Student Will Demonstrate An Understanding of Earth and Space Systems

    Uploaded by

    This document provides information about the water cycle and the effects of human activity and global warming. It includes questions for students about where water is stored, how it moves, infiltration, runoff, and how global warming impacts the wet and dry cycles. Global warming intensifies the water cycle by increasing evaporation. In wet areas, there is more infiltration and runoff which can cause flooding, while dry areas experience more evaporation and lower groundwater levels.

    TAKS Objective 5

    The student will demonstrate an understanding of Earth and Space systems.

    TEKS 8.12 C
    Predict the results of modifying the Earths nitrogen, water and carbon cycles

    Lesson Objective
    1. The student will summarize the effects of human activity on the water cycle: global warming, water quality and water quantity

    The Water Cycle

    Question
    True of False: There is plenty of water

    There is a limited supply of potable water on earth.

    Earth's Water Supply

    Earths Water

    Extreme Water

    Engage
    Use the textbook or pictures from the internet to show students
    Diminished water quantity Diminished water quality

    Diminished Water Supply

    Explore
    The Environmental Protection Agency

    Answer the following questions


    1. Where is water stored? 2. How does water move from one place to another? 3. What is infiltration? 4. What is runoff?

    5. How does global warming affect the water cycle? Use information about the effect of (a) the wet cycle and (b) the dry cycle.

    Where is water stored?

    Water is stored in oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.

    How does water move from one place to another?

    Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation.

    What is infiltration?

    Infiltration is water movement between the spaces in the soil.

    What is runoff?
    Runoff occurs when water flows over the ground instead of sinking into the ground.

    How does global warming affect the water cycle?


    Include information about the effect of:
    a) The wet cycle b) The dry cycle

    Global warming intensifies the water cycle


    because the earths surface is a little warmer and this increases evaporation.

    a). Where there is too much water, there is more water infiltrating and more runoff. This could cause flooding and negative effects on plants and animals living in the area.
    b). In areas away from a water source more evaporation and transpiration could dry out the soil. This could lead to lowered ground water supply, and have negative effects on the plants and animals living in the area.

    Elaborate

    Create a diagram showing the effects of global warming on the water cycle.

    Evaluate
    Summarize the effects of human activity on the water cycle: global warming, water quality, and quantity.
