The majority of water on Earth is salt water, with 97% found in oceans and seas. Freshwater makes up the remaining 3% and is found as ice (79%), groundwater (20%), and surface water (1%). Water quality refers to the amount of substances other than water found in a sample, describing how pure the water is. Potable water is safe for humans to drink. The most common substance in water samples besides H2O is salt. Water quality is negatively impacted by human pollution but also benefited by filtration. Monitoring helps identify quality changes early.
Presentation1
Freshwater ecology is the specialized study of the interrelationships between freshwater organisms and their natural and cultural environments. It examines freshwater habitats like upland rivers and streams, which are fast flowing rivers and streams that drain mountainous areas onto plains. Upland rivers are characterized by rapid drops in altitude, fast water flow, high stream power, incised courses, beds dominated by bedrock and coarse sediments, and a riffle and pool structure.
Bodies of water
The document discusses different types of bodies of water such as streams, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. Streams are small and narrow bodies of water that join together to form wider rivers. Rivers can empty into lakes and range from clear to muddy. People and animals rely on streams and rivers as a source of fresh drinking water.
Unit 8 water on earth
The earth is made up of water, land, and an atmosphere. Water exists in three states - solid, liquid, and gas. It is the most abundant component on earth and is essential for most living things. Water can be found in oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, clouds, underground, and as water vapor in the air as part of the continuous water cycle.
Water forms
The document discusses the major forms of water on Earth. It describes the five oceans which cover 70.8% of the planet's surface: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic, and Arctic. It also discusses seas, which are large bodies of water almost completely surrounded by land like the Mediterranean. Other forms discussed include lakes, rivers, gulfs, bays, straits, canals, and the world's longest rivers. The document provides locations and other key details about major examples of each water form.
Landforms and water bodies
This document defines various geographic and hydrologic terms. It describes different types of bodies of water like oceans, seas, gulfs, straits, rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs. It also defines landforms such as continents, islands, peninsulas, mountains, hills, valleys, plains, and deserts. Additionally, it explains geographic coordinate systems and important lines like the equator, prime meridian, latitude and longitude.
Bodies Of Water
Oceans, rivers, and lakes are the three main types of bodies of water on Earth. Oceans are large bodies of salt water surrounding continents, with the Pacific being the largest. Rivers are flowing bodies of fresh water that cross land and empty into seas or oceans. Lakes are large bodies of fresh water surrounded by land on all sides, such as Lake Kaweah in Tulare County.

The document discusses the five main oceans of the world - the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic oceans. It provides data on the size and depths of each ocean, with the Pacific being the largest and the Mariana Trench in the Pacific being the deepest location at over 36,000 feet deep. Rivers are described as large bodies of fresh water that flow across land into seas or oceans, while lakes are bodies of fresh water surrounded by land.
The Water cycle
The document describes the hydrologic cycle (water cycle) where water is constantly being cycled through the atmosphere, ocean, and land, driven by energy from the sun. Water evaporates from bodies of water and soil into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and falls back to earth as precipitation. Precipitation replenishes groundwater, surface water in streams and rivers, and water in oceans, completing the cycle which is crucial for life on Earth.

Fresh Surface Water
Lakes are inland bodies of water formed in depressions where water collects. They are formed through processes like diastrophism, glacial action, and volcanic activity. Lakes provide many benefits like transportation, water storage, hydroelectric power, and recreation. Specific types of lakes include kettle lakes formed in depressions left by melting glaciers, tarn lakes in mountain hollows, and volcanic lakes that form in volcanic craters. Oxbow lakes form from river meanders that are cut off. Swamps occur in low-lying areas and transition between lakes and dry land depending on the season. Rivers are natural freshwater streams that flow towards seas, lakes or other rivers. Meltwater from glaciers feeds streams
Bodies of water
The document discusses different bodies of water on Earth. It states that about three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by water, but only around 1 cup out of a gallon jug representing all the world's water is freshwater. Most of the Earth's water is contained in the oceans, including the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern oceans. While oceans contain saltwater, lakes, rivers, ponds and streams hold freshwater that can be consumed. The Great Lakes including Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior are examples of large freshwater lakes.
Water Resources
The document discusses Earth's water resources and the hydrologic cycle. It explains that 97% of Earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, while the remaining 3% is freshwater. Freshwater is found in glaciers, ice sheets, lakes, rivers, streams, groundwater, and the atmosphere. The hydrologic cycle involves water evaporating from oceans and other surfaces, condensing in the atmosphere, and falling as precipitation before collecting in streams, rivers and groundwater that flow back into oceans, completing the cycle. Human activities like population growth, urbanization, agriculture and industry can negatively impact water quality through pollution and overuse.
Bodies of water
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water can change between liquid, solid, and gas states in this cycle. In its purest form, water is a chemical compound made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Bodies of flowing water include rivers, creeks, brooks, and canals, which vary in size and flow. Bodies of non-flowing water include oceans, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, sloughs, marshes, and estuaries, and also vary in size and salinity.

2.2 - Bodies of Water
This document summarizes various bodies of water and landforms. It describes the four main oceans, how ocean currents affect climate, and details about lakes, rivers and streams. It also explains the hydrologic cycle of water evaporating and condensing, drainage basins, water tables, and various landforms like continental shelves that can be found on land and in the ocean.
Water bodies
This document summarizes the major water bodies of Earth. It explains that 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water in various forms called water bodies. The largest water bodies are the five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic oceans. It also describes seas as large water bodies smaller than oceans, which can be marginal seas partly enclosed by land or inland seas covering central land areas. Minor water bodies include bays, lakes, gulfs, lagoons, straits, and rivers.
Kathleen's Powerpoint Presentation in Sir Rey's Computer Class
Rivers form through the natural process of water runoff from land surfaces collecting in low areas and eroding channels over time. As runoff from multiple slopes combines, it increases the water's eroding power to form gullies that eventually develop into full valleys containing a permanent stream, along with tributaries that feed into the growing river system within the watershed.
Water. The hydrosphere
The document discusses the hydrosphere, specifically water on Earth. It covers the basics of water molecules, the water cycle, oceans, and other bodies of water. The key points are:
- Water (H2O) covers 70% of Earth's surface and is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
- 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
Vincent sea
There are two main types of bodies of water: flowing and non-flowing. Rivers are a type of flowing body of water that carries water from higher elevations to oceans, lakes, or other rivers. There are different patterns that river channels can take, such as dendritic where many small streams join into larger tributaries, or trellis where tributaries join the main river at 90 degree angles. Seas can be formed through marine transgression when sea levels rise and flood land, marine regression when sea levels fall and expose seafloor, or marine ingression when the sea pushes farther inland.
Hydrosphere ES 4th Quarter
The document summarizes key aspects of physical oceanography. It discusses the composition of seawater, properties like salinity, temperature, pressure and density. It also describes major ocean basins, currents that circulate water globally, and ocean motions including waves and tides. Overall, the document provides a broad overview of physical characteristics and processes within Earth's oceans.
Words about water
The document defines and describes various bodies of water. It discusses seas as large expanses of salt water connected to oceans. Rivers are described as freshwater flows towards larger bodies of water. Ponds are smaller than lakes and hold standing fresh or salt water. Streams have currents confined within banks. Oceans are large bodies of saline water forming the hydrosphere. Puddles are small accumulations of liquid, usually water, on surfaces.
CuyahogaRiverLandCoverMap
Multiple surveys in the Upper Cuyahoga River found healthy mussel populations, particularly in the main stem and West branch, though abundance was lacking in the East branch. The most recent 2015 survey examined the Middle Cuyahoga River, a poorly understood area. The river ecosystem has experienced changes from dam removals and the presence of invasive mussel species, which compete with native Unionid mussels for resources.
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.
Sec 1 NA - River system & drainage
The document discusses key features and processes related to river systems, including the drainage basin, tributaries, confluence, watershed, waterfalls, meanders, and river mouths. It explains that a river's drainage basin is the area that drains into the river and its tributaries, and that waterfalls form when a river flows over mixed hard and soft rocks, eroding the soft rocks more quickly to form a ledge. It also describes how river meanders and oxbow lakes are formed by rivers and that sediments deposited at river mouths over time create deltas with distributaries.

The document discusses various aspects of water including the water cycle, distribution of water bodies, ocean circulation, waves, tides, and ocean currents. The water cycle involves water evaporating from oceans and land into vapor, condensing into clouds, and falling as precipitation. Oceans hold 97.3% of the world's water, mostly as salty water, while fresh water is found in ice caps, groundwater, lakes, and rivers. Ocean circulation involves large scale movements of ocean water in various directions driven by forces like winds, gravitational pulls of the sun and moon, and differences in water temperature.
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.
Oceanography
Oceanography is the science that studies the oceans along with marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics, ocean currents and waves, plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor, and the chemical substances and physical properties of the world oceans.

It notes that 97% of water on Earth is salt water, with the remaining 3% being fresh water that exists as ice water (79%), groundwater (20%), and surface water (1%). It also discusses various factors that affect bodies of water, including waves caused by wind and lunar/solar gravitational forces, as well as how humans can negatively impact water quality through pollution but also help filter water.
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.
Grade 11 Chapter 4 Module Earth Science : Water Resources
- Water resources are natural resources that are potentially useful for agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. All living things require water to grow and reproduce.
- 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.

Ponds are smaller bodies of standing freshwater than lakes. They are often shallow and contain plants, algae, and small aquatic animals. Ponds provide habitat for species like frogs, turtles, and fish. While ponds can be naturally occurring, human activities like roads and overgrazing can negatively impact ponds. The design of a pond determines what wildlife it will support. Ponds are used for aesthetic, agricultural, and wildlife purposes.
The Hydologic Cycle
The document describes the hydrologic cycle (water cycle) where water is constantly being cycled through the atmosphere, ocean, and land, driven by energy from the sun. Water evaporates from bodies of water and soil into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and falls back to earth as precipitation. Precipitation replenishes groundwater, surface water in streams and rivers, and water in oceans, completing the cycle which is crucial for life on Earth.
