Question

1. In September, Alex observed a dry creek in a wildlife area in northwestern Nevada. In February of the next year, water started to flow in the creek, and a small pond formed in the area. By the end of May, the creek was dry again, and the pond was gone. a) Identify one possible natural source of the water that flowed in the creek. b) Describe the property of water that most likely changed when the pond disappeared. c) Explain how some of the water that had been in the pond could return to the source you identified in the first part.​

Answer 1

The characteristics of the climatic seasons to find the correct answers are:

a)  As the temperature increases: the water that thaws and the rains increase

b)  The evaporation of the water increases significantly and the filtration of the water towards the subterranean layers

c)  The water that evaporates returns to the source through the clouds

The climatic seasons are the changes in the climate due to the rotation of the Earth around the Sun and the change in the tilt of the Earth's axis during this rotation.

In September in the northern hemisphere, the axis of the Earth is quite far from the sun, so the solar rays fall obliquely, consequently there is a lower density of rays per area and the temperature drops, at this point the The rains decrease and less water reaches the streams, in addition to lowering the temperature enough, the remaining water begins to freeze, thus decreasing the flow of the stream even more.

In February the census temperature to rise and the water begins to thaw and the rains increase, so this is the source of water to feed the stream.

a) Consequently the sources of water are the water that thaws and the rains that increase

 

b) With the increase in temperature, the evaporation of the water increases significantly and also, as the soil below the stream is very dry, water begins  filtration process into the underground layers of the soil. Creating the stream to dry up again

c) The part of the water that evaporates returns to the source through the clouds that form and their subsequent rain.
