example of condensation

Dew on grass or water on an ice glass

The gulf stream originates in the ——— amd travels up the East Coast of the US before combining with the____

Gulf of Mexico/north Atlantic drift

A powerful warm, swift ocean current flowing in the Atlantic is called the

Gulf stream

The oceans help distribute __ around the globe

Heat

Wells

Holes dug or drilled deep into the ground to reach a reservoir of groundwater

The ocean water is made up of ___ and ____. The other two main elements are ___ and _____

Hydrogen/ oxygen and chlorine/ sodium

After hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine and sodium, the next most abundant elements in ocean water is....

Magnesium, sulfur and calcium

Without currents, regional temperatures would be ———- which would make it super hot at the equator and frigid at the polls

More extreme

Hydrosphere

all the waters on the earth's surface, such as oceans, lakes, ground water, glaciers, water vapor, precipitation, and even clouds!

Surface Ocean Currents

caused by global winds pushing along the surface of the ocean

Earth's Spheres

hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere(lithosphere)

Rivers

large streams that carry water from the mountains to the sea

Aquifers

porous, water-holding UNDERGROUND ROCKS that provide millions of wells with steady flows of water.

Biosphere

the part of Earth where life exist such as grass lands deer plants animals bacteria fungi bugs s

Surface ocean currents are driven primarily by ________ and modified by ________.

the wind and the Coriolis effect.

Ground water

underground water that is held in the soil and in pervious rocks

—- of the planet is covered by oceans

70%

Earths freshwater is divided into what percentages

70% frozen, 29% ground water, less than 1% lake and rivers

What percentage of earths water is saltwater

97%

____ of the water on earth is in the oceans

97%

During water cycle the amount of water

Stays the same

____ is fresh water in lakes rivers and aquifers

1%

___is locked in glaciers and ice caps

2%

What percentage of earths water is freshwater

3%

atmosphere

A thin layer of gases surrounding Earth that contains gases, clouds, wind, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide

Gulf Stream

A warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico northward through the Atlantic Ocean

Much of the suns radiation is __ in the oceans, in the form of ___, particularly at the equator

Absorbed/heat

Watershed

An ecosystem where all water runoff drains into a single body of water

Coriolis effect

Causes moving air and water to turn left in the southern hemisphere and turn right in the northern hemisphere due to Earth's hemisphere.

Water droplets stick together due to

Cohesion

Water vapor meets cold air in the atmosphere and turns into liquid water

Condensation

Because the earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.... this is called the

Coriolis Effect

Oceans are home to a ——— of life

Warm water is transported from the ——-towards the ——-

Equator/poles

Some of the oceans heat ——- into the atmosphere and some ——- in the oceans

Evaporates/remains

Most of earths freash water is

Glaciers

Ocean currents help regulate ——-even if an area is hundreds of miles from the coast

Global climate

Power sources are

Sun and gravity

Examples of reservoirs

Oceans, glaciers, lakes, ponds, rivers, underground, atmosphere

Name the five oceans from largest to smallest

Pacific Atlantic indian southern artic

Coldwater is transported from the ____ towards the ____

Poles/equator

These are collections of freshwater in low lying areas

Ponds and lakes

Holding or storage place for water

Reservoir

This is flowing freshwater that goes to lakes or oceans. They are fed by smaller ponds or creeks

Rivers

This is a continuous flow of water in a particular direction created mainly by surface winds

Surface ocean currents

Geosphere or lithosphere

The crust and upper mantle of the earth's soil for example canyons, volcanoes, soil, rocks, land forms, mountains, sand, magma

What brings much milder temperatures to western and northern Europe then would otherwise occur

The ocean current called the gulf stream

Divides

The ridges or elevated regions that separate watersheds

Energy that powers the water cycle comes from

The sun

Surface ocean currents are moved primarily by

Wind patterns

The process by which water moves from earths surface to the atmosphere and back again

The water cycle

Which is not a significant use forAquifers—-

To refill lakes and streams

Without ocean currents climate regulation,much more of the land would be

Unusable

What is considered a universal solvent

Water

What supplies water to river systems

Watershed

Surface ocean currents Drive

Weather patterns

Sun heats bodies of water until molecules game enough energy to become a gas

What happens during evaporation

Plants give off water vapor through their leaves to control their temperature

What happens during transpiration

Water and ice droplets become dancer and gravity pulls them back to Earth

What happens in precipitation

Water from precipitation drains downhill into bodies of water

What is runoff
