- Ocean currents are driven by global winds and the Coriolis effect, influencing climate by transporting warm and cold waters.
- Deep ocean currents are driven by differences in water density from temperature and salinity, not winds at the surface.
Rivers
Rivers go through three stages as they flow from their source to the sea - youthful, mature, and old. In the youthful stage, the fast-moving river erodes the landscape, creating V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, and waterfalls. During the mature stage, the river transports eroded material and deposits it, forming wider valleys, meanders, and flood plains. In the slow-moving old stage, deposition creates features like ox-bow lakes, levees, and deltas at the river's mouth. Rivers have long been important to people for transportation, water, and more recently, power generation through hydroelectric dams.

Water earth
Water covers most of the Earth's surface. The majority is ocean water, while freshwater makes up only 3% and is found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and underground. The water cycle involves continuous movement of water between the oceans, atmosphere, and land through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Oceans contain over 97% of Earth's water and generate currents, tides, and waves through the influence of wind and the gravitational pull of the sun and moon. Rivers are important freshwater sources that flow from highlands to oceans, providing water, energy, transportation and fertile land for humans. However, too much or too little water causes problems like floods and water scarcity that endanger people and ecosystems.
6th Grade Strand 6 Concept 1
Lakes and rivers are important bodies of freshwater on Earth. Lakes and rivers contain water, which can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. While water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, most is saltwater - only 1% of the total water on Earth is freshwater available for human use, found primarily in lakes and rivers. Rivers drain the landscape and transport water and minerals to oceans, beginning as small streams and merging into larger rivers like the Amazon and Mississippi that span great distances. Lakes vary in depth, size, and location around the world, storing about 90% of the Earth's surface freshwater aside from oceans.

- The water cycle constantly moves water around Earth through processes like evaporation and precipitation.
- The oceans are the largest part of Earth's hydrosphere, covering over 70% of the planet. The four major oceans are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans.
- Other bodies of water include lakes, rivers, ice caps, and groundwater, which
Hydrosphere copy
The document discusses the hydrological cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves stages such as evaporation, transportation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater. Water is evaporated from bodies of water by the sun's heat, transported through the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, precipitates as rain or snow, runs across land back into bodies of water, and infiltrates into groundwater. This cyclic process sustains life on Earth and has operated for billions of years.

- Water exists on Earth in different forms and locations, including oceans, atmosphere, ground, and within living things as part of the hydrologic cycle. The hydrologic cycle involves the continuous movement of water between these different reservoirs through various processes like evaporation and precipitation.
- Freshwater, which makes up a very small percentage of the total water on Earth, is found as glaciers, groundwater, atmospheric water vapor, and surface water resources like rivers, lakes, and wetlands that are important for human and other uses.
Am
The document discusses the global water cycle and distribution of water on Earth. Most of Earth's water is salt water located in oceans, while only 2% is fresh water found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers. The water cycle involves evaporation of water from bodies of water into clouds, which condenses and falls as precipitation back to Earth. Humans have significantly impacted water through use for agriculture, industry, trade, and more, with 2/3 of the population dependent on fish and water used for power generation and transportation.

Earth's hydrosphere
The document discusses the hydrosphere and water pollution. It defines the hydrosphere as the liquid water component of Earth, including oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and streams, which covers 70% of the planet. The hydrosphere is in constant motion due to ocean currents driven by factors like temperature, salinity, and wind energy transfer. The document then discusses how water pollution has increased as the human population has grown and industrialized, threatening the quality of both surface waters and underground aquifers, with over half of Iowa's groundwater wells found contaminated in 1996.
Unit e fresh & saltwater systems
This document provides information about the distribution of fresh and salt water on Earth. It discusses how 97% of the Earth's surface water is saltwater, while 3% is freshwater. Most of this freshwater (77%) is locked up in glaciers. It also notes that only 0.003% of total water on Earth is potable/drinkable by humans. The document includes visual representations of these distributions and discusses Canada's large freshwater resources.
Rivers & Environments
The document discusses key aspects of rivers and hydrology. It begins by noting that only 1% of the Earth's fresh water is found in streams, lakes and rivers. It then discusses Singapore's reliance on rivers and canals to channel rainwater to its reservoirs. The document goes on to explain the hydrologic cycle and how water cycles between the atmosphere and Earth. It defines river systems and their basic structure. Finally, it outlines the different processes that occur in the upper, middle, and lower courses of a river, including erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediments.
Why is water important bkmw
Water is essential for all life on Earth. The human body is made up of 45-60% water and water is needed for critical functions like regulating body temperature and transporting nutrients. While the oceans hold the vast majority of Earth's water, less than 1% of water is available as freshwater in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Given water's unique properties as a solvent and its role in biological and industrial processes, access to clean water is necessary for drinking, sanitation, agriculture, and electricity generation.

Ls 4 major water bodies
This document provides an overview of major water bodies on Earth. It introduces the hydrosphere, which includes oceans, seas, ice sheets, underground water, and atmospheric water vapor. There are five major oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans. The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean, containing the Mariana Trench. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest and saltiest ocean. The Indian Ocean is triangular in shape and contains the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica, while the Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest ocean located around the North Pole. Oceans are important as they help regulate temperature and provide food, oil/gas resources, and
"Water Resources" by Gr.11 Students
This document provides information about water resources and the hydrologic cycle. It discusses what water is, where it can be found on Earth, and how much of the planet is covered in water. It then describes the hydrologic cycle, including the processes of evaporation, transpiration, sublimation, condensation, precipitation, and infiltration. It discusses different water reservoirs like oceans, glaciers, groundwater, and surface water. It provides details on the water cycle and movement of water between these various reservoirs.
Domains of envronment
The document discusses the key domains that make up Earth's environment - the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
It provides details on each domain, including the composition and layers of the lithosphere (crust, mantle, core), sources of freshwater and types of surface water in the hydrosphere, the structure and composition of Earth's atmosphere, and how the biosphere originated and evolved over billions of years to support life. Biosphere reserves that aim to protect ecosystems are also mentioned.
Envi engg water and wastewater
Water resources can be divided into surface sources and subsurface sources. Surface sources include ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and storage resources like dams. Subsurface sources include springs and wells. Together these natural sources provide most of the planet's fresh water supply, though only a small percentage is readily accessible for human use.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Bodies of water
- 2. Oceans There are 5 oceans. They are pacific (covers 1/3 of Earth), Indian, Atlantic, Artic and Southern. Oceans separate the 7 continents. Oceans move in a certain way. A current is the flow of the ocean in a specific direction Tides are the high and low waves in the oceans. When the tides are high, lands could get covered in water. 71 Percent of the Earth is covered in Oceans!
- 3. OCEAN
- 4. BAYS
- 5. GULFS
- 6. Inlets! It is an area of land extending into land from a larger body of water.
- 7. Lakes North America has the most lakes. Not all lakes contain fresh water. The Great Salt Lake in UTAH is as salty as an ocean or sea.
- 8. LAKES A lake is a great pool of fresh or salt water completely surrounded by land. Doesn’t connect to the ocean directly, but a river may drain the lake water into the ocean.
- 9. Rivers Rives are bodies of fresh moving water! A large natural stream of flowing water. They begin at source and end at mouth. The river empties water into another ocean or water body. Rivers carry water away from land. The river water flows into a lake, a sea or the ocean.
- 10. RIVER
- 11. The sea and the ocean contain about 97% of the Earth’s water. (Is salty because of the rivers, from the mountains. Minerals were dissolved from rocks). Just 3% of the Earth’s water is fresh. The remaining 1% is the fresh water in lakes, rivers and under the ground.
- 12. LIVING THINGS: More plants and animals live in the oceans than on land. FOOD: Fish and other sea animals are important human food. We can also transport godos by ship. (Using less energy) WEATHER: Water that evaporates from oceans fall as rain. Rain (waters the land) supplies us with fresh water. Oceans absorb and store heat from the sun, currents carry this heat around the globe. MINERALS: Plenty of valuable minerals in ocean water. WHY OCEANS ARE SO IMPORTANT?
