The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface, driven by solar energy. Water can exist in three forms - liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor) - and changes form as it moves through the cycle of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, collection, runoff, infiltration, storage, and either return to the seas or a repeat of the cycle. The sun's heat causes evaporation and transpiration, forming water vapor that rises and condenses into clouds and precipitates as rain or snow back to Earth, completing the cycle which is vital to life and all human activities that depend on water.
The Murray-Darling is the longest river system in Australia, stretching over 2310 miles from Queensland to Adelaide. It is formed by the confluence of two major rivers, the Murray and the Darling. The basin of the Murray-Darling is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including 80 mammal species, 55 frog species, and 34 types of fish. It provides drainage for Victoria, New South Wales, and southern Queensland by carrying water from rainfall throughout its basin.
Deserts are dry ecosystems that receive little rainfall and have high temperatures. Plants and animals in deserts have adaptations to survive the harsh conditions like storing water, having waxy coatings, burrowing, and being nocturnal. However, human activities like development, water usage, off-roading, mining, overgrazing, and dumping are negatively impacting desert ecosystems by destroying habitat and reducing populations of native species. Conservation efforts are needed to protect these fragile environments.
GEOGRAPHY YEAR 10: COASTAL LANDFORMS. It contains: coastal landforms, depositional landforms, beaches, attrition, spits, longshore drift, tombolos, cliffs, the procesa of cliff erosion, headlands and bays, caves, arches, stacks and stumps.
Glaciers are large masses of snow and ice that accumulate over time under their own weight and slowly flow outward. They are formed from accumulating snow, and their lower layers crack as they move due to their great size and weight. It is normal for glaciers to melt gradually as temperatures rise, but many glaciers today are melting faster than snow can replenish them, reducing their sizes and contributing to rising sea levels. There are different types of glaciers including alpine, continental, and valley glaciers.
During ice ages, large parts of northern Europe including Scotland were covered in deep ice. Sea levels were lower because less water flowed into oceans as snow and ice built up on land. The last major cold period was the Pleistocene Ice Age, which started 1.8 million years ago and ended around 10,000 years ago. Natural causes of climate change include variations in Earth's orbit and axis, volcanic eruptions, and changes in solar activity, which can cause the climate to become colder or warmer over both short and long time scales.
O documento descreve as etapas do ciclo da água: 1) evaporação e transpiração, 2) condensação, 3) precipitação, 4) escoamento. Explica que a energia solar faz evaporar a água dos oceanos, rios e plantas, formando vapor d'água que se condensa em nuvens e cai como chuva, alimentando os lençóis freáticos e completando o ciclo contínuo.

Dubai acts as a regional gateway, re-exporting goods from around the world to large neighboring markets. It has established itself as a major business and financial link between East and West due to liberal commercial regulations and government business support. Dubai has also quickly established itself as a leading family destination and aims to be the world's leading family destination for the UK and Ireland by 2012. The Dubai Education Council was established in 2005 to develop Dubai's education sector, with public schools using Arabic as the primary language and private schools primarily using English. Dubai continues developing enormously and projecting itself to become a global city despite advances in areas such as technology, architecture, politics, economics, and society.
The document summarizes the water cycle through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It explains that water evaporates from bodies of water and becomes water vapor in the atmosphere. The water vapor then condenses to form clouds and precipitation like rain or snow. Precipitation falls back to the ground and bodies of water, completing the cycle.
Deserts are typically defined as dry areas that receive less than 25cm of rainfall per year. They are formed by mountains blocking precipitation. Deserts can be hot or cold, but are always dry. Common desert plants and animals have adapted to survive in the harsh, arid conditions by developing mechanisms for conserving water such as deep roots or remaining inactive during the heat of the day. Some of the largest deserts on Earth include the Sahara, Arabian, Gobi, and Great Victoria deserts.
This document discusses several endangered species and threats they face:
- Dolphins are endangered by fishing gear entanglement, habitat loss from dams and development, and hunting. Climate change is also affecting dolphin habitats and food sources.
- Lynx populations have declined due to loss of rural habitats and illegal hunting. Protecting natural areas and enforcing laws could help the species.
- Polar bears face threats from climate change, including loss of sea ice habitat and food sources. A warming climate has dire consequences for the species and environment.
- Collective action is needed through green transportation, limiting pollution, and sustainable living to curb climate change and protect vulnerable species.
Australia is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy located in Oceania. It is the world's sixth largest country by total area and has a population of over 23 million people that is highly urbanized and concentrated on the eastern coast. Australia has a diverse landscape that includes the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, and varied climates across its six states and territories.
A desert is defined as a region receiving less than 250mm of annual precipitation. Deserts cover 22 million square kilometers or one-fifth of Earth's surface. They form due to mountains blocking precipitation paths and climate changes. Desert ecosystems are extremely specialized, with plants like cacti adapting through thick stems that store water and reduced transpiration at night. Animals avoid heat through burrowing and have developed ways to absorb, store, and prevent water loss.

The Tundra biome has very harsh conditions, with frozen soil and low biodiversity. Summers are short, with temperatures barely rising above freezing. Plants must grow and reproduce rapidly in this short summer season. They have adaptations like small leaves and the ability to grow through snow. Animals also have adaptations like thick fur and changing fur color between seasons. Predator and prey populations fluctuate together based on the availability of food sources like lemmings.
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. Water evaporates from oceans, lakes, rivers, and soil and transpiration from plants. It rises into the atmosphere and condenses into clouds. Precipitation falls as rain or snow and either runs off into rivers and lakes or infiltrates into soils where it becomes groundwater or is absorbed by plants. Groundwater flows toward springs, rivers, lakes, and oceans, completing the cycle as water evaporates or transpires again into the air. This constant cycling is essential for sustaining life on Earth.
The document discusses the water cycle and the different states of water. It explains that 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, which contain 97% of the planet's water in the form of salt water. The remaining 3% is fresh water, found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and underground. The water cycle involves evaporation of water from oceans and land into vapor, which rises into the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds. Precipitation occurs when the water falls as rain or snow to the ground, where some soaks into the soil and some runs off into rivers and lakes, eventually making its way back to the oceans to repeat the cycle.
New Zealand consists of two main islands and smaller surrounding islands located southeast of Australia. It has a population of around 3.8 million people and its capital and largest city is Wellington. Some key facts about New Zealand include its colonial history reflected in the flag, the indigenous Maori people making up about 14% of the population, and famous attractions including geysers in Rotorua and the kiwi bird which is the national emblem. New Zealand is also known for its rugby team the All Blacks and for extreme sports like bungee jumping.
This lesson covers different types of waves and how they impact coastlines differently. It will define the coast and its three zones, and name the two types of waves - constructive and destructive. Constructive waves are low in height and energy and build up beaches by depositing sediment, while destructive waves are higher and more energetic, eroding beaches by pulling sediment offshore. The lesson will explain how the characteristics and effects of these wave types differ.
New Zealand has a diverse history and culture, with the North and South Islands separated by Cook Strait. The capital is Wellington, and the largest city is Auckland. Maori culture has significantly influenced New Zealand, including traditions like the hongi greeting and hangi cooking method. English is the primary language, though Maori is also spoken. Rugby is a national passion, and the landscape offers opportunities for both extreme and more leisurely outdoor pursuits like wine tasting or mountain scenery at Lake Taupo. Maori tattoos also hold cultural significance as symbols of history and identity.
New Zealand's national bird is the kiwi. Kiwis are flightless birds found only in New Zealand. They have thick brown or grey feathers, short powerful legs, a long bill used for finding food, and keen senses of smell and hearing. Despite their inability to fly, kiwis can run at speeds up to 30 kph. Kiwis play an important role in New Zealand's identity and ecosystem. There are five surviving species of kiwi that are threatened by habitat loss and predators. Conservation efforts aim to protect and increase kiwi populations.
Australia is the world's smallest and flattest continent, located between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It has some of the oldest and least fertile soils on Earth. Indigenous Australians have lived on the continent for over 50,000 years, with a complex hunter-gatherer society. Today, Australia has a Western cultural identity and its economy is highly developed and the third freest in the world, though over one-third of the country is desert. Some of Australia's most famous natural landmarks include the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Opera House, and Ayers Rock.
New Zealand has a population of over 4.5 million people, with the largest cities being Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. 14% of New Zealand's population lives abroad. The country has a parliamentary democracy and was the first country to give women the right to vote in 1893. Notable locations include Mount Cook, the tallest mountain, and Wanaka, a growing southern town. New Zealand is innovative in agriculture, using technologies like shearing tables and drones to assist farming, and has innovative banks and internet providers.
The water cycle describes how water moves between the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It involves four main processes: 1) Evaporation of water from bodies of water into vapor in the air, 2) Condensation of the vapor into clouds, 3) Precipitation as rain or snow back to Earth, and 4) Accumulation of water in rivers, lakes, and oceans that begins the cycle again through further evaporation. The water on Earth has been continuously cycling through this process for billions of years.
Polar climate regions are found at the North and South poles and are characterized by long, cold winters with very little precipitation. They have average temperatures below 10°C year-round. Two main types are tundra climate, which has at least one month above 0°C, allowing some plants to grow, and ice cap climate, where no month rises above freezing and only ice exists. Locations include coastal Greenland with tundra climate and Antarctica which has a predominant ice cap climate. Fauna in the regions have adapted thick fur/feathers and ability to maintain body heat.
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun warms water in oceans and lakes, causing it to evaporate into water vapor in the air. Water vapor condenses to form clouds, and air currents move clouds around the world. When clouds become too full, water falls as precipitation like rain or snow. Precipitation returns to oceans, lakes, and rivers, where the cycle repeats.
