  • Maybe it's just me, but when I learned about it as a kid, I learned about it as a description of the movement of water around the surface of the planet. (freethoughtblogs.com)
  • The biological carbon cycle has a very fast circulation rate compared to the geological cycle. (lu.se)
  • Whereas the biological cycle is complete with the life span of a living organism, the geological cycle regards the formation and weathering of rocks - a very slow process - and so the circulation rate of the geological carbon cycle can take around 600 million years! (lu.se)
  • The two main sources of energy driving the water cycle are solar energy and gravitational energy. (skystreamenergy.com)
  • Why doesn't the gravitational energy in this system of evaporating and condensing water violate the second law of thermodynamics? (stackexchange.com)
  • An optional mini-investigation to complement this lesson involves observing the transition of water through its 3 phases (ice, water, water vapor) after an ice cube is zipped into a resealable plastic bag and taped to a sunny window. (mysciencebox.org)
