Water on Earth
Oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface.

Most of Earth's water—roughly 97 percent—is salt water that is found in the oceans.

Eventually, we harvest that salt for our use!

Only 3 percent is fresh water.
Of that 3 percent, about three quarters is found in the huge masses of ice near the North and South Poles.

Water on EarthA fraction more
is found in the atmosphere. Most water in the atmosphere is invisible water vapor, the gaseous form of water.

Water on Earth
Less than 1 percent of the water on Earth is fresh water that is available for animals to use.

Water on EarthTypes of water on Earth
Oceans Ice Rivers and Lakes Below Earth's Surface
Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers is called groundwater. Far more fresh water is located underground than in all Earth's rivers and lakes.

The Water Cycle
Water is naturally recycled through the water cycle.
The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves through the living and nonliving parts of the environment.
The sun is the source of energy that drives the water cycle.
In the water cycle, water moves from bodies of water, land, and living things on Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface.

Condensation
As air rises it cools and condenses. It reaches the ground as rain, snow, sleet or hail.

The Water CycleSteps of the Water Cycle
Water Evaporates Clouds Form Water Falls as Precipitation
And then it starts again
![Page 23: Water on Earth Oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aab9e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Water Evaporates Evaporation is the process by which
molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
Water can evaporate from where?Ocean Lakes Soil, puddles, and even from your skinPlants
Eventually the water is given off through the leaves as water vapor in a process called transpiration
![Page 24: Water on Earth Oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aab9e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Clouds Form Water molecules find their way into the
atmosphere, warm air carries it upward.
Higher up, air tends to become much colder.
Cold air holds less water vapor than warm air.
Some of the water vapor cools and condenses into liquid water.
Condensed droplets of water clump together around tiny dust particles in the air, forming clouds
![Page 25: Water on Earth Oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aab9e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Water on Earth Oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aab9e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Water Falls as Precipitation As more water vapor condenses, water
droplets in a cloud eventually become so heavy that they fall back to Earth.
Water that falls to Earth as rain, snow, hail, or sleet is called precipitation.
Most precipitation falls directly into the oceans.
Precipitation is the source of all fresh water on and below Earth's surface.
The water cycle renews the usable supply of fresh water on Earth.

How Do People Use Water?The water people use at home is just
a small percentage of all the water used in the United States.
In addition to household purposes, people use water for AgricultureIndustryTransportationRecreation

Agriculture Farms need a constant supply of fresh waterIrrigation is the process of supplying water to areas
of land to make them suitable for growing crops. In the U.S., more water is used for irrigating
farmland than for any other single purpose.

Industry What objects require water to produce
them?Water is needed to produce most
objects. Water plays a role in the industrial
processes that created them.Power plants and steel mills both need
huge volumes of water to cool down hot machinery.

rivers have been used for transporting people and goods since ancient times

Water and Living Things
Water makes up nearly two thirds of your body. That water is necessary to keep your body functioning.
Water is essential for living things to grow, reproduce, and carry out other important processes.
Plants use water, plus carbon dioxide and energy from the sun, to make food in a process called photosynthesis.

COMPREHENSION CHECK-TOTDWrite an explanation of the water cycle
beginning with two drops of water in the ocean. You must use key vocabulary words (evaporation, precipitation, condensation, etc).
