| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is considered salt water | 3.5% of salt and above |
| What is Desalination | The process of removing salt from saltwater |
| What is considered fresh water | 1.5% of salt or less |
| What is Surface water | The top layer of water on a body of water |
| What is ground water | Ground water is water that collects under ground |
| What is Permable | A material that allows gas and liquid to pass through it |
| What is an ice sheet | A mass of ice that covers surrounding terrain over 50,000km2 |
| What’s a glacier | A mass of ice that is constantly moving under its own weight |
| What is impermeable | Something that won’t allow liquid and gas to pass through |
| What is heat capacity | The number of heat units needed to raise the temperature of a body |
| What is recharge | The replenishment of an aquafir |
| What is the greenhouse affect | The trapping of the suns heat in a planters lower atmosphere, due to the transparency of the atmosphere |
| What is a water table | an underground boundary between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone |
| What is flooding | An overflowing of water |
| What is drought | A deficiency in rain |
| What is an earthquake | The shaking of the surface of the earth from a sudden release of energy |
| How is water useful | Everything living needs water to live |
| What is the difference between salt water and freshwater | The salt concentration in salt water is much higher then freshwater, also freshwater is drinkable |
| How much of the earths water is accessible | 0.5% of freshwater |
| What countries have the most amount of freshwater | Brazil, Russia, and Canada |
| Is water something everyone has | No, not everyone has acsessable water |
| What is gaseous water | Water vapour and aqueous water |
| What does freshwater have to do with the water cycle | When it rains it rains fresh water |
| What is an example of heat capacity | Water has a high heat capacity of 4184J par kilogram |
| What affect does heat capacity have on tempature | The heat capacity tells us how much energy is needed to change the temperature of a given substance. |
| Is our planter ice melting | Yes because climate change has affected the temperatures to those extents |
| Why is recharge crystal to our inviornment | over a period of sustained recharge, the recharge wells can become discharge wells due to the increase in the ground water table. |
