the water cycle, 36 style

hi everyone,

have fun identifying the processes (input, flows, outputs and storages) but please do not be too excited about the irrelevant ones (e.g. droplet suntanning on the island or droplet sailing..)

also, do remember to try sketching the cross section of the drainage basin with the annotations of the processes, as shown during today's tutorial!

love,
ms h

I was just surfing random stuff and I realised how smart human beings (astronomers especially) are. Check this out:

Moons on different planets:

Mars: Phobos, Deimos

Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto

Saturn: Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Iapetus

Uranus: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon

Neptune: Triton

Earth: Moon

-.-" wow...they were able to think up of names for every moon that did not belong to Earth (they even have names for unknown orbiting objects!)...and what name did they give our own moon? Moon! That's like calling the budget terminal Budget Terminal!

HAHA....
