Chapter 42, Problem 9TYU
INTERPRET THE DATA Draw a simplified global water cycle showing ocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to the ocean. (a) Label your drawing with these annual water fiuxes: ocean evaporation, 425 km2: ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation, 365 km2; ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km2; evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70 km2; runoff to the oceans, 40 km2. (b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) How would this ratio change during an ice age and why?

The Water Cycle
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean,
the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning
or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Summarize the water issue concerning the Catawba River. (NOTE – A summary is not one sentence!)
The following table gives the total amounts of water and salt in the oceans and the total influx of water and salt from rivers each year. Use this information to calculate the residence time in the world ocean of both water and salt.

You are working at the Loy Farm and are tasked with analyzing water supply for agriculture purposes. Answer the following questions: a) You run an experiment to estimate the water flow rate of the drip irrigation system in the Elon High Tunnel greenhouse. You randomly place 10 small 1-quart paint buckets in the soil along the irrigation system. The table below summarizes the water volume collected in the buckets. The irrigation system was running for 2 hrs. Each bucket has a diameter of 11.2 cm, and volume was measured in milliliters (ml). What is the average drip flow in the irrigation system in inches/hr?
