#Water Cycle

[thatsbelievable]

When I was a lot younger I remember learning about the water cycle, and how the same water that the dinosaurs drank is still around and consumed today. I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I have drank the last rain to fall on a battlefield, in the wake of victory. I have consumed the liquid that sustained great writers and scientists - perhaps I drink the same water as Shakespeare and Cleopatra? The contents of my glass has made up great oceans, carrying ships to distant lands, changing history with every droplet. And now that same water which fuelled our ancestors hydrates me as I sit mock exams, connecting me to the furtherest point of our past through the simple act of drinking water. I can only hope I can live up to the legacy of the last people who drank that water.

Ok, Journey of Water inspired by Moana is really really awesome. It's simple, but educational and interactive. A great small addition to Epcot.

"Using seismic activity to probe the interior of Mars, geophysicists have found evidence for a large underground reservoir of liquid water—enough to fill oceans on the planet's surface.

The data from NASA's Insight lander allowed the scientists to estimate that the amount of groundwater could cover the entire planet to a depth of between 1 and 2 kilometers, or about a mile."

""Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the climate, surface and interior," said Vashan Wright, a former UC Berkeley postdoctoral fellow who is now an assistant professor at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. "A useful starting point is to identify where water is and how much is there.""

My backdoor has the perfect conditions to create some very cool ice a few times a year. The dryer vent above sends steam shooting over the door where it meets the below freezing temperature and rapidly cools to water, which, condensing on the light fixture just below this vent, in turn becomes ice. The melting icicles and/or the additional steam->water drip down and create a nice little ice mat... not ideal but I can't bring myself to salt it bc then I wouldn't get to catch it like this!

Have you ever seen a rock with a hole in it, like a smooth circular hole as though a finger or a worm pushed in? Over a long, long time, some water dripped there and made that hole. I suppose this is caves too! The incredible power of water + time. I love that I get to observe that very same process in my backyard, all because my neighbor is doing a LOT of laundry!

No sound bc it was all passing planes and the dryer vent 🙃

Evapotranspiration is the sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evapotranspiration includes water evaporation into the atmosphere from the soil surface, evaporation from the capillary fringe of the groundwater table, and evaporation from water bodies on land. Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

why do they charge me for water every month im just borrowing it

More than half of the world's food production is at risk of collapsing in the next 25 years due to a growing global water crisis, a new report warns.

Climate change, destructive land use and the consistent mismanagement of water resources mean that nearly 3 billion people and over half of global food production are in areas facing "unprecedented stress" on their water systems, the Global Commission on the Economics of Water said in a report released Oct. 17.

If the trend is not reversed, the growing deficit will have a seismic impact on humanity and the environment. Several cities are already sinking due to a loss of groundwater. Moreover, up to 8% of the global gross domestic product (GDP), and 15% of the GDP of lower-income countries, will be lost by 2050, according to the report.

"Today, half of the world's population faces water scarcity," Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and one of the commission's four co-chairs, said in a statement. "As this vital resource becomes increasingly scarce, food security and human development are at risk — and we are allowing this to happen.”

"For the first time in human history, we are pushing the global water cycle out of balance," he continued. "Precipitation, the source of all freshwater, can no longer be relied upon due to human caused climate and land use change, undermining the basis for human wellbeing and the global economy."

Allah initiated the water cycle

How do Allah maintain the water in earth that never becomes vapor or freezes all at a time. Its due to water cycle. Earth, is the only place in universe where there is water, rainfall of water & water according to science so far. Allah knows better is there any other.

Allah initiated it INITIALLY. And Yes there are Scientific Reasons behind it, but then who initiated the scientific reasons, and yes, its nature and natural process, but then who initiated the nature and  natural processes. Allah claims that, He did it and He can make all these reversed, if He wills?

“Do you not realize that Allah drives the clouds, then joins them together, then turns them into a heap? Then you see the rain coming out from their midst [24:43] Have you ever considered the water you drink? Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who do so? If We willed, We could make it salty. Will you not then give thanks? [56:68-70]

water cycle, you guys should know this.

A little fun fact about me is that back when I was a cringy ah 12yo I’d sometimes add really random tags that had absolutely no relation to the subject matter of my main post. Just for the shits and giggles.

And to annoy people and for attention ofc (can you tell I’m unemployed yet?)

Let’s see how many we can fit with this one (this is the only one I promise lol)

UPDATE: then it rained. I was unprepared and got a bit wet, but am mostly dry now

Y'all ever stop and think about the water cycle?
