Explain why water budgets vary between different Drainage basins (6) - ANSWER--water budgets describe the amount of water within a drainage basin when taking into account that added by precipitation and that lost through evapotranspiration, as well as of run off and changes in storage. One of the reasons this can vary between drainage basins is the physical factors that may effect the basin. For example areas that have high levels of vegetation cover will have high levels of interception a...

What is the water cycle? - The cycle operates in a variety of spacial scales where physical processes control the circulation of water between stores on land, oceans, the cryosphere and the atmosphere. It works as a closed system with inputs (rainwater), outputs, stores and gravitational potential energy. It begins with evaporation where water vapour from the ocean is lifted and condensed in the atmosphere to form clouds. Moisture is then transported around the globe and returns to the sur...
