The Water Cycle

Have you ever wondered how the water cycle works. I will provide you with many explanations as to how it works.

Did you know that we still have the same amount of water from when earth was created. Water is recycled and the water cycle is known as hydro-logical cycle. Water in form of rain fills rivers, dams, lakes and the sea.

On a hot day the water will then molecules from rivers, lakes, streams and the sea and is heated by the sun and turned into water vapor and rises into the air.

Water molecules forms into clouds and by the process also known as condensation.

The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.

The water cycle describes the movement of water throughout Earth's surface, atmosphere, and underground. Water is constantly moving from one place to another through the processes of evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, condensation, and runoff. Water in the water cycle can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas.

I hope I have provided you with many explanations as to how the water cycle works.

Why we should drink water

Why we should drink water? I will provide you with many information

as to why we should drink water.

Did you know drinking water helps you concentrate while driving and studying. Why is drinking water important? water is important because it contains oxygen and hydrogen and Oxygen means a colourless, odourless reactive gas.

Drinking water removes toxins from body and also washes and cleans it out. If you don't drink enough water your kidneys will prevent body stones and you will have to go through surgery to remove it. Too many people buy face lotion to keep your skin healthy, instead you can just drink water and your face will be naturally healthy.

If you don’t drink water, you will die. It's that important. Depending on our environment, we can live only a few days without water - maybe a week. We can live much longer without food.

Sometimes we think we are hungry, when actually we are thirsty. Our body just starts turning on all the alarms when we ignore it. For those of you trying to drop some pounds.

I hope I have provided you with many information as to why we should drink water more often.

How butterflies are formed

Have you ever wondered how butterflies are formed? I will provide you with information as to how butterflies are formed.

A butterfly starts its life as a round, oval or cylindrical egg. The shape of the egg depends on the type of butterfly it is. The butterfly lays its eggs at the bottom of a leaf.

The butterfly chooses the leaf to lay its eggs on. It chooses a leaf that the caterpillar will be able too eat when it hatches. If the butterfly chooses a leaf the caterpillar won't be able to eat. the caterpillar will die.

For butterfly eggs to hatch, it can take about four weeks in the peak of the summer in warmer climates.The eggs takes 5 to 10 days. Once the eggs has hatched the caterpillar will then eat the leaf it was born on.

One day when the caterpillar stops eating it then hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and turns itself a silky pupa or molts into a shiny chrysalis.

Once the caterpillar has transformed into a butterfly it comes out of the chrysalis/pupa before it can start flying it needs too pump blood in it's wings because the wings are flat against its body.

Next the butterfly will mate and lay round oval cylindrical eggs and the cycle will start all over again.

I hope I have given you enough information about how butterflies are formed.
