Topic 4 Earths water

sic study guide

Percipitation water that falls as rain snow sleet or hail and the cycle continues.
Condensation water vapor changes to the liquid water. Clouds are drops of water liquid water cooled from water vapor.
Evaporation is the process of changing liquid water into water vapor.
Glacier slowly moving body of ice
Aquifer underground water supplies
Reservoir places the collect in store water most of Earth's fresh water (68.7%) is in glaciers and blank polar ice caps
Only a very small amount of available water is blank freshwater
The largest source of surface drinking water is located in blank lakes
When fresh water is scarce, you need to collect it and blank store it
Circulation/currents Swirling motion that moves ocean water around the globe
Tides Rising and falling patterns of the ocean caused by gravity
Salinity The amount of salt dissolved in water
The Earth's ocean is so important to the water cycle because it makes up blank percent of the water on Earth 96.5%
The temperature of the ocean results from the depth of the water and how close it is to the blank equator
The blank is connected to all of Earth's fresh water bodies because of the water cycle. (Evaporation and precipitation connects the ocean to Earth's other water sources.) ocean
When humans lack fresh water, they can reduce the usage, build reservoirs and dig blank dig quifers
The surface water of the blank ocean has a higher salinity than the surface of the blank ocean. In places where river water mixes with ocean water, the salinity is lower (brackish). The surface water of the Atlantic ocean has a higher salinity than the surface of the Pacific ocean. In places where river water mixes with ocean water, the salinity is lower (brackish).
