what is hydrology?

Answer 1

Hydrology has a couple of different meanings, but they are connected. When they talk about hydrology in a geology class then they're usually thinking of the flow of water through underground aquifers, and the size of groundwater reservoirs and things like that. In meteorology hydrology is the study of rainfall patterns and how and where the water goes once it hits the land surface.

Answer 2

Water is an essential resource that is required by all life on Earth. Studying the movement, availability, and quality of water are the jobs of a hydrologist. More specifically hydrologists study the chemical properties, biological interactions, and the physical processes that govern the water cycle.



The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is a process by which water is continuously cycled around the earth. This happens through different pathways and at different rates but the central concepts remain the same. Water evaporates from the ocean, condenses as clouds, moves over land, and precipitates. From there it can enter ground water, evaporate again, or enter a stream or lake. It will eventually find its way back to the ocean either by falling as precipitation, flowing with a river, or by moving ever so slowly with ground water. The hydrologic cycle is also a process that transfers heat energy. Heat is transported pole ward by water being evaporated and then condensing which releases heat. Without the water cycle the climate would be much more frigid and areas away from the equator would be much less habitable.

Answer 3

In simple terms hydrology is the study and applications of liquids.

Answer 4

hydrology is the science of water that deals with the circulation,distribution,occurrence of water of the earth and earth's atmosphere.

Answer 5

it is the study about quality, movement and distribution of water.
