Hydrology

Hydor+logos(Both are Greek words)

Hydormeans water andlogosmeans study.

Hydrologyis a science which deals with the occurrence, circulation and

distribution of water of the earth and earths atmosphere.

HydrologicalCycle:It is also known as water cycle. The hydrologic cycle is

a continuous process in which water is evaporated from water surfaces and
the oceans, moves inland as moist air masses, and produces precipitation, if
the correct vertical lifting conditions exist.

Atmosphere
Troposphere
Most of the weather
occurs.
Stratosphere
19% of the
atmospheres gases;
Ozone layer
Mesosphere
Most meteorites burn
up here.
Thermosphere
High energy rays from
the sun are absorbed;
Hottest layer.
Exosphere
Molecules from
atmosphere escape
into space; satellites
orbit here.

CloudTypes
Cloud is a visible set of drops of water and fragments of ice suspended in the
atmosphere and located at some altitude above the earths surface.
