The Hydrologic Cycle

This study guide covers the water cycle (hydrologic cycle), including key processes like evapotranspiration (evaporation and transpiration), precipitation, runoff, percolation, and plant uptake. It emphasizes the importance of the water cycle in nutrient transport and explores human impacts such as deforestation, climate change, urbanization, and water diversion. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips focusing on key terms, human impacts, and connections to other biogeochemical cycles.
