Convection currents
23.5 to 30 degrees latitude. Hadley cells formed, moist air above forest rises and releases moisture and then cool air sinks and absorbs moisture above desert

Rain shadows
Warm moist air rises up green side of mountain and preciptates, cools and absorbs moisture on other side

Water Budget difficulties
Units not consistent because different ways of measuring each value

Interflow
Subsurafce seepage entering lake
6 of 14
Human impact on the hydro cycle
Changes to earths surface, changes to earths climate, atmospheric polluton, withdrawls and diversion for human use
7 of 14
Changes to earths surfaces
Loss of vegetation (serves as a reservoir), detroying wetlands causing flooding, loss of forests which create their own climate
8 of 14
Mitigation for earths surface destroyal
flood retention ponds, wetland and river proetection, surfaces that allow infiltration, river restoration, more vegetation in cities
9 of 14
Climate change effect on hydrological cycle
Warmer climate (more evaporation), wetter atmosphere (more precipitation and flooding)
