[Get Solution]Hydrological Cycle

You will use the essay question prompt that appears when you click to start the quiz and follow these instructions: Essay Requirements: A note on the final: The final is going to be a 4-5-page double space essay (10 to 12 Times New Romans or Arial Font), MLA Format, Works Cited page (not part of the 4-5 pages). There is no time limit and an unlimited number of attempts for the essay.   Please note the score will show 0 on the quiz until I go in and grade the essay.  Requirements/Tips for a successful essay: 1. You must explain, define key terms when explaining a process.  You will not be able to just write a sentence like this: Precipitation is the 3rd stage in the Hydrological Cycle.  One example of a correct way to write this sentence would be: Precipitation is when water molecules fall to the ground due to their heaviness and it is the third stage in the Hydrological Cycle.  2. You must use a map to explain each of the processes.   Example of an incorrect sentence: Areas like Ireland receive lots of rain.  One example of a correct way to write this sentence would be: Precipitation varies around the world, as we can see according to the Annual Precipitation and Ocean Currents map in the atlas on page 36-37.  This map shows that area Chili receives about 80 inches of rain a year along the coast, and average 40 inches more inland.   3. Organization/Clear concepts: Does your essay flow correctly?  Are you able to show me through your essay that you clearly understand the processes and key terms you learned in class? 4. Length: The length of the essay is not a suggestion, it is the length that it will take to discuss all the information in a complete and thoughtful manner. 5. MLA Format means you must have a complete well-organized essay and cite your sources.  This means your essay should include an introduction, conclusion, thesis statement.     Flag this Question Question 11,500 pts Essay Directions: Select a film that you wish to watch that is filmed in the outdoors or revolves around a physical geographical event.  This film can be fiction, fun, or historical, it is your choice.
