Video about environmental science - Movie Review Example

4 May, The Water Cycle: This video illustrates the process of water cycle. Water vapors convert into liquid water through the process of condensation. Clouds are formed as a result of condensation of tiny droplets of water that are suspended in the atmosphere. Water comes back to Earth in the form of snow or rain. This process of water showering is known a precipitation. The rainwater does not stand on the surface of soil. It flows into water bodies including streams, rivers and sea. Rest of it, that can not make its way to any reservoir gets seeped into the soil.

This process is known as infiltration. Rainwater permeates through pores in the soil and the bedrock in the process called as percolation. The seeped water later makes source of streams. Then through the process of evaporation, water goes back into the atmosphere in the form of water vapors and the cycle continues. Water also evaporates from leaves of the plants through a process known as transpiration. The video is very informative in general, and gives patent definitions of all terms involved in the water cycle including evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration and percolation.

The whole water cycle is explained with the help of moving images which enhances the learning. Every second of the video is very informative and not a bit can be missed because every second reveals important information that makes part of the process missing which, the process gets interrupted. The video could have been more informative had the temperatures at which water normally evaporates, transpires and condenses had been discussed!
