Weâve put 1000 miles per month on our SL Leaf and have averaged 3.7 miles/Kwh. At $.09/Kwh super off peak rate and 10% loss from AC to DC, I figure about $27/mo for 1000 miles. Compare the 13 mpg SUV that the Leaf replaced and that saves $300/ mo. in gas ( at $3.90/gal). That savings just about pays for the car lease.
Two other very important components of the water cycle are evaporation and transpiration. These processes return water to the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor. And though they are similar processes, the water comes from different sources.
The Water Cycle. The water cycle is a cycle that describes the use, storage, and recycling process of water on Earth. It is arguably the most important of all the cycles because the way water is spread across the globe and redistributed is critical to life on our planet. A very basic explanation of the water cycle is that the majority of water is stored in our oceans. With added energy from the sun, much of that liquid water turns into gas, or water vapor, and is absorbed by the atmosphere in a process called evaporation.
