Water ( Lesson 3-5)- Where is water? How does water move? What's like to be a water molecule?

Reservoir

Man-made bodies of water that resemble lakes and are used to store water ( oceans, lakes, rivers, atmosphere, glaciers, groundwater, soil, living organisms).

Oceans, Groundwater / Glaciers, Soil, Lakes, Atmosphere, Rivers, Plants

OGGSLARP

Evapotranspiration

Plants release water through leaves.

Evapotranspiration

Plants release water through their leaves.

Liquid

Rivers, Rain, Lakes, Creeks, Ocean, Groundwater

Glaciers

Solid ice flow, slower than surface flow, located at the poles or at high elevations, at lower elevations the flowing ice melts due to environmental condititions.

Absolute Humidity

The amount of water vapor in a particular amount of air.

Earth's surface

The boundary between geosphere materials (rocks, sand, sediment, solid rocky layers) and the material above it (air or water)

Gas

Water Vapor

Direction of Water

Water always flows DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

Groundwater

Water found underground

Flow

Water movement, caused by gravity acting on a fluid that is placed on a nonfluid area.

Animal Uptake

Drinking it

Infiltration

A way that water moves down into the ground, passing between particles of soil, sand, gravel, or rock until it reaches a depth where the ground is saturated with water.

Transpiration

Absorption through roots

Uptake

Animals take in water by drinking it.

How water moves

Flow, Infiltration, Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Absorption through roots, drinking it, , run/off or perspiration, discharge, desublimation, melting, evapotranspiration.

Advancing Glaciers

Glaciers that are growing and moving.

Solid

Ice, Snow, Hail, Sheet

Relative Humidity

Is normally expressed as a percentage; a higher percentage means that the air-water mixture is more humid. At 100% relative humidity, the air is saturated and is at its dew point.

Oceans

LARGEST RESERVOIR, allows water to move around the globe.

Soil

Layer of soil at the surface of the ground which acts at a temporary reservoir for water, which falls through the atmosphere.

Condensation

The process of changing gas to liquid.

Evaporation

The process of turning liquid to gas.

Precipitation

When liquid / solid water falls through the ground. ( rain, snow, sleet, hail)...
