| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Where is almost all of earths water going? | In the ocean |
| Where is almost all of earths freshwater? | Frozen in glaciers |
| The amount of available freshwater is when people use more than the amount that flows in there area. | decreasing |
| People only use what kind of water? | freshwater |
| List three things that cause water shortages. | Droughts, overuse, and pollution |
| What are three parts of earths system that we have have discussed in this unit. | Biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere |
| How do drops of water form. | When enough water vapor gets cold and condenses into liquid water. |
| Where dose water vapor in the come from. | Liquid water that has evaporated. |
| How are water molecules in the states of water spaced. | Gas molecules are very spread out and move very fast, Liquid molecules are a little spread out and move slow, solid molecules are very tightly packed and don't move. |
| Water molecules are not or when water changes from gas to liquid or liquid to gas. | created, destroyed |
| for water droplets to form, the water molecules must get. | cold |
| Water vaporer can come from any body of water. | true |
| The water on earth today is not the same that was on earth hundreds of years ago. | false |
| give an example of the hydrosphere and atmosphere interacting. | liquid water evaporates to form water vapor in the atmosphere. |
| give an example of the biosphere and hydrosphere interacting. | people using water. |
| someone who uses science knowledge to design something to solve a problem. | engineer |
| to put together multiple pieces of information in order to understand something. | synthesize |
| A supply of something that is useful. | resource |
| A description of how something works or why something happens. | explanation |
| all living things on earth. | biosphere |
| All of the water on earth, | hydrosphere |
| water in the form of invisible gas. | water vapor |
| the air that surrounds earth. | atmosphere |
| When gas turns into liquid. | condensation |
| a group of atoms joined together in a particular way | molecule |
| when liquid turns into a gas. | evaporation |
| a group of parts that work together.. | system |
