Question

The image is a model showing the processes of the water cycle. Water uptake to the atmosphere occurs through the processes of evaporation and transpiration from plants where it condenses to form clouds. Clouds release the water through precipitation. During a summer of extreme drought, what can we expect to happen to the surface ground water stored in ponds and lakes?

Answer 1

The first answerer is  incorrect, the real answer is "water levels will decrease because there is more drought and transpiration". (Please Brainliest?)

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The water cycle is the flow of the water between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. The water level will reduce due to evaporation and transpiration.

What is the water cycle?

The water cycle is the flow of water through the different spheres: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. The surface groundwater of the lake will evaporate as the sun is high in the summers.

Due to the high conversion of water vapor, the rate of evaporation and transpiration from the plants will increase resulting in a decrease in the stored water.

Therefore, the water in lakes will decrease.
