This document provides information about streams, rivers, and lakes. It discusses how streams begin as small bodies of water that flow over land and join together to form larger rivers. Rivers drain water from the surrounding land in a river system made up of the main river and its tributaries. Many early human settlements formed along rivers because rivers provided important resources. Lakes are bodies of water surrounded by land that were often formed by glaciers gouging out holes during the ice age that later filled with water. Some notable lakes discussed include the Great Lakes in North America and Lake Baikal in Russia.

This document discusses the distribution and structure of freshwater bodies. It provides the following key points:
- Freshwater accounts for only around 1% of the total water on Earth and is found primarily in lakes, rivers, and underground.
- The water cycle driven by solar energy is crucial for life as it circulates water between the atmosphere, oceans, and land.
- Most freshwater is frozen in polar ice caps and glaciers, while the remaining 1/3 is found as liquid in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
- Major freshwater resources include the Great Lakes, which contain over 20% of the world's surface freshwater, and aquifers like the Ogall
Landforms[1]
Rivers shape the land by eroding and depositing sediments over time. They cut valleys and canyons, form floodplains and deltas at their mouths. Running water is one of the most important forces changing Earth's surface. The land is made up of layers - the lithosphere is the outer rocky layer, the hydrosphere contains Earth's water, and the atmosphere is the blanket of gases. Together these systems continuously shape and resurface the planet.
Hydrosphere1-1.pptx
The document discusses the hydrosphere and the distribution of water on Earth. It describes the water cycle by which water evaporates from oceans and transpiration from plants, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates as rain or snow back to Earth's surface and subsurface. It outlines the major types of water found on Earth's surface, including streams, rivers, lakes, swamps, marshes, and underground water, as well as Earth's ice and oceans which hold the vast majority of the planet's water supply.
THE HYDROSPHERE
The document discusses the hydrosphere and water cycle on Earth. It describes how water circulates between the oceans, atmosphere, and land via evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in the water cycle. It provides details on the distribution of water on Earth, including that 97.5% is salt water in oceans and seas while the remaining 2.5% is fresh water in ice caps, glaciers, inland water, and groundwater. Rivers, lakes, and oceans are described along with their characteristics and locations.

Relief
This document discusses different types of landforms on Earth including continental and oceanic relief. It describes how tectonic plates move and collide, forming three main types of plate boundaries. It also explains key landforms shaped by rivers, glaciers, groundwater and lakes. Coastal landforms like cliffs, beaches and estuaries are presented. The document emphasizes how plate tectonics and erosion by water have created the diverse surface features visible around the world today.
Rivers are more_than_water
Rivers progress through three stages - youth, maturity, and old age - which are characterized by different erosion and deposition processes. In youth, the river erodes land rapidly as it flows quickly from high elevations. During maturity, the river begins to erode sideways, forming meanders. In old age, the river flows slowly at ground level and deposits its sediment load, forming lakes separate from the channel. Rivers shape landscapes through these processes and interact with human activities like transportation, recreation, and tourism.

Landforms and bodies of water
Topography refers to the physical features of a place or region, which can be natural or man-made. Topography is caused by volcanic eruptions, soil erosion from water and wind, and the flow of water from high to low elevations. The document defines and describes various landforms like mountains, hills, islands, deserts, plains, valleys, canyons, and plateaus. It also defines bodies of water like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and coasts. Major oceans, deepest ocean trenches, historically important rivers, and examples of large lakes are identified.
2 hydrosphere
The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth's surface and subsurface in liquid or frozen form, such as oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and groundwater. It covers 70% of Earth's surface, primarily as oceans, and provides habitat for many organisms. Water cycles between reservoirs in the hydrosphere, atmosphere and geosphere through evaporation, condensation and precipitation in a continuous circular motion.
Bodies of Water
The document discusses the key characteristics of major bodies of water: oceans are the largest, covering 70% of Earth's surface and containing salt water; rivers flow towards oceans and other bodies of water, transporting fresh water from rain and snow; streams flow into rivers and are confined within banks; lakes are surrounded by land and can be natural or manmade; and ponds are smaller and more shallow than lakes, also containing fresh water.
Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 2
The document provides information about global water distribution and sources. It states that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water, most of which is salt water in oceans. Only 2.8% of the Earth's water is fresh water. The main sources of fresh water globally are groundwater stored underground, ice caps and glaciers, rivers, and lakes. Many countries currently face water shortages due to limited access to fresh water sources.
Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 2
The document provides information about global water distribution and sources. It discusses how most of Earth's water is salt water in oceans, while only 2.8% is fresh water. Of the fresh water, 1% is surface water in rivers and lakes, while most is stored as groundwater or ice caps and glaciers. Countries facing water shortages include some in Africa and South East Asia, where surface fresh water is more limited and groundwater is an important source for irrigation.
Water Cycle
The document provides information about the water cycle and groundwater. It explains that water is constantly moving through different stages of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Some key points made are that water can exist in liquid, solid and gas forms; the water cycle involves water evaporating from oceans and transpiring from plants, condensing to form clouds, and precipitating as rain or snow; and runoff can infiltrate underground and become groundwater stored in aquifers. The document also gives a detailed explanation of the Clear Creek watershed near Houston, describing the environment, flooding risks, and tributaries that drain into the creek.
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.
Uses of Rivers
The document discusses rivers and the hydrological cycle. It begins by explaining how rivers are an important resource for drinking water, transport, electricity and more. It then describes the three main processes by which rivers shape the land - erosion, transportation, and deposition. Erosion involves wearing away river banks and breaking down rock particles. As rivers transport sediment downstream, larger rocks can be moved in higher energy areas near the source, while finer particles are deposited where energy is lowest at the mouth. The document outlines the typical features of the upper, middle and lower courses of a river as its energy decreases downstream.
1 hrly gs ch 04 oceans
The document defines and describes various bodies of water. There are 5 oceans in order of size: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. Oceans have no boundaries and deep ocean beds support basic life. Seas are partially surrounded by land and are generally shallower than oceans, allowing plant and animal life. Gulfs are deep inlets of the sea almost surrounded by land. Bays are areas of water mostly surrounded by land. Lakes are bodies of fresh or salt water completely surrounded by land, ranging from small ponds to large seas. Waterfalls are where water flows rapidly over a precipice or steep slope.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Chapter 1 Lesson 2 A Streams Rivers Lakes.ppt
- 1. Chapter 1 - Lesson 2 Streams and Rivers, Lakes Chapter 1 The Earth’s Bodies of Water
- 2. • Water covers more than 70% of the Earth • Water is in the ground and in the air we breathe • People, Plants, and Animals all need water to live Streams and Rivers page 26 Weathering - is the process of breaking up rocks into smaller pieces called sediment
- 3. • Streams are bodies of water that flow over land in a channel • Most streams begin on high ground, among hills or mountains • The sources of a stream usually consist of melting snow/ice or an overflowing lake • At the end of a stream is the mouth which empties into another body of water Streams and Rivers
- 4. • Streams can be as small as a shallow brook • Or as large as a river, the largest and most important streams • Most rivers form from many smaller streams coming together, these are called tributaries Streams and Rivers Tributaries – are streams or rivers that flow into a larger stream or river
- 5. • The more tributaries that empty into a river the larger the river grows • Together the river and its tributaries are called a river system Streams and Rivers River System – a river and all of its tributaries
- 6. • Each continent, except Antarctica, has major rivers and river systems. • Africa has the Nile, Asia has the Yangtze, Australia has the Murray, Europe has the Danube, North America has the Mississippi, and South America has the Amazon Streams and Rivers
- 7. • The Nile is the Earth’s longest river, it flows from Central Africa to the Mediterranean Sea • The Amazon is the Earth’s largest river, carrying more water than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze combined • River Systems carry or drain water away from the land around them (drainage basin) • Rivers are important for many reasons including drinking, cleaning, travel and trade Streams and Rivers, Lakes Drainage Basin – Land drained by a river system
- 8. Streams and Rivers Drainage Basin
- 9. • Why did many of the world’s first settlements form along rivers? (pg.27)
- 10. • Lakes are bodies of water surrounded by land • The word lake comes from the Greek language meaning hole because most lakes are holes in the Earth that fill with water • Lakes exist on every continent except Antartica • The greatest amount of lakes exist where there was once many glaciers such as North America and northern Europe Lakes
- 11. • During the last Ice Age, glaciers gouged huge holes in the Earth and the holes filled with the water from the melted glaciers • Lakes also form where rainwater collects in huge holes made in other ways • Crater Lake in Oregon was formed in a crater of an extinct volcano Lakes
- 12. • Lake Baikal in Russia is the deepest lake on Earth measuring 5,315 feet deep it was formed in a huge crack in the Earth’s crust called a rift Lakes Rift – a long and deep crack in the Earth
- 13. • North America has the most lakes out of all of the continents • The largest of the North American lakes are the Great Lakes • One fifth of all of the fresh water on the Earth’s surface is found in the Great Lakes Lakes H – Huron O – Ontario M – Michigan E – Erie S – Superior
- 14. • There are some large bodies of water called seas that are actually lakes • The difference is that they are not fresh water, but salt water and that is why they are called seas instead of lakes • The Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee, and the Caspian Sea are lakes • The lowest lying lake is the Dead Sea between Israel and Jordan • The highest lake is Lake Titicaca in South America Lakes
- 17. • Not all lakes are made by nature • Some are man-made and are called resevoirs • People build dams to control river flooding or to generate electricity Lakes Reservoir – a lake that forms behind a human made dam
- 18. Terms to Know • Reservoir • Rift • Drainage basin • River system • Tributaries • How did Ice Age glaciers form lakes in North America and Europe? (pg. 28)
