How was the water cycle demonstrated in your terrarium after the plants sprouted ? the water cycle in your terrarium , including labels .

• The sprouted or growing plants had no effect on the water level at the terrarium's top. When the liquid boils, it turns into vapours, which are then again transformed into water when cooled, leaving no change in the liquid. Water is absorbed by roots in the terrarium and evaporates from the soil and plant leaves, just like water falls to the earth as rain and subsequently returns to the air.
• On the terrarium's roof and walls, it condenses. The condensed water then disperses (like rain) and replenishes the soil moisture in a continuous closed-loop operation.
• Fill a cup with boiling water until it is about two thirds full. Place a second cup on top of the cup with boiling water, upside down. Then top the cup-turned-upside-down with an ice cube. At the top of the upside-down cup, condensation will start to accumulate, resembling a cloud.
• Have you ever wondered why plants (living things) can survive and grow in closed terrariums despite the fact that they are completely enclosed? The solution to that question is found in three naturally occurring processes: photosynthesis, respiration, and the water cycle.
• In closed terrariums, there is a separate ecosystem. They actually have a miniature water cycle of their own. Because of this, they don't require a lot of maintenance and only occasionally need to be watered. Open terrariums function quite similarly to another container for your plant.
