круговорот воды, The Water Cycle for Schools, Russian

Вы можете думать, что каждая капля дождя, падающая с неба, или вода, которую мы пьем, совершенно новая, но она всегда была и есть частью круговорота воды в природе.

水循環とは?

水の循環とは何でしょうか?それはあらゆる面で「わたし」とすぐに答えることができます!また、一般に水文循環として知られている水循環とは地球の地表面内部、そして大気圏にいたる水の動きと存在について述べたものです。地球の水は常に動いており、液体から蒸気へ、さらに氷へと姿を変え、また液体へと戻るように形が変化しています。その水の循環は何十億年と続いており、地球上の全ての生物は水の存在に頼っています。もし水がなかったら、地球は生物が住むにはかなり不適当な場所だったことでしょう。

このチャートは、自然の水循環のみを示しています。

Prirodni vodeni ciklus - The Natural Water Cycle diagram in Croatian

Možda misliš da je svaka kap kiše koja padne s neba ili svaka čaša vode koju popiješ sasvim nova, dok je ona zapravo oduvijek ovdje i dio je vodnog ciklusa.

Ovaj dijagram prikazuje prirodni vodeni ciklus, izostavljajući ljudski utjecaj.

Scintillometer and torrs of the Melozitna granite in the Ruby batholith.  This granite contains abundant monazite and high levels of thorium and rare earth elements. This area is part of the Bureau of Land Management's Central Yukon Planning Area, which USGS did a mineral assessment of in 2015.

Honey bees play a major role in pollinating the world’s plants, including those we eat regularly. However, land-use changes that decrease flower abundance can affect bee health and pollination services.

This small-scale map shows Kīlauea's active East Rift Zone lava flow field in relation to the southeastern part of the Island of Hawai?i. The area of the active flow field as of January 12 is shown in pink, while widening and advancement of the active flow as of February 16 is shown in red. Older Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō lava flows (1983-2016) are shown in gray.
