The Tundra Water Cycle

Evaporation

Definition: The process by which water molecules in a liquid escape into the air as water vapor

Where does this occur?

  • Fills up or gathers in ponds, bogs, lakes, wetlands, and marshes

- Also causes these

  • Climate may be too cold sometimes for this process too occur

Evaporation

Condensation

Definition: The process in which matter changes from the state of a gas to the the state of a liquid

Types of Clouds: Stratus

- Condensates through the clouds

Condensation

Precipitation

Definition: The process by which water falls to the Earth from the atmosphere

  • Comes in many types of forms:

- Snow, Rain, or Fog

  • Summer Time: It will rain or produce fog
  • Winter Time: It will snow

Precipitation

Percolation

Definition: The passage of watery vapor from a living body through a membrane or pores \

  • No water can be penetrated

- Permafrost layer won't allow it

Percolation

Runoff

Definition: The draining away of water from the surface of an area on land

  • The snow that builds up on the mountains, melt and form a runoff through the land

Runoff

Groundwater

Definition: The water tat is held underground in the soil or in pores

  • A key factor in the tundra's water cycle because it is not recognizable due to the permafrost layer in the tundra

Groundwater

The Tundra biome's water travels almost throughout the entire water cycle. Its hits the stages of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and percolation. Unlike other biomes, the Tundra is freezing and due to the bitter coldness, sometimes evaporation and transpiration may not be present in the cycle, like the other stages. The runoff stage along with the groundwater stage may be present as well but has a layer above the soil called permafrost.
