Requirements You must include each of the following in your diagram, story/explanation:
1. precipitation
2. runoff
3. evaporation
4. condensation
5. transpiration
6. infiltration
7. groundwater
8. clouds
9. collection areas (example: ocean or lake)
Instructions
1. Complete either the diagram or written explanation – 10 points
• Diagram – you will draw the water cycle process. You must include each of the required items and label each. You are not required to color it, but it is encouraged to help differentiate between the processes.
• Written Explanation – for either of these options you need to include each of the processes. It may be beneficial to explain them in the order in which they occur but is not necessary.
2. Answer the questions

Questions
1. What process drives evaporation and transpiration? Explain how this process operates in the water cycle? (2 Points)

2. What role does gravity play in the water cycle? Hint: it is in more than 1 process (2 Points)

3. What states of matter will your find water in going through the water cycle? (1 Point)

The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around our planet. On Earth, you can find water in all three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Liquid water is found in Earth's oceans, rivers, lakes, streams—and even in the soil and underground.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
