All the water on Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, groundwater, and water vapor.

The average weather conditions of a place over a long period of time.

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

To change from a liquid to a solid due to a decrease in temperature.
