WATER CYCLE
• The continuous process by which water moves from earth’s surface to the atmosphere and back.
• Involves: Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
![Page 4: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Evaporation
• Liquid changes to a gas (water vapor)
• Happens when water from surfaces of water heat up and rise into the air as a gas.
• Plants also release water vapor into the air
![Page 5: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Condensation
• Warm air carries water vapor up where it hits colder air in the atmosphere and cools off.
• Drops of water clump together, forming clouds.
![Page 6: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Precipitation
• Water droplets in the cloud grow larger, causing them to get heavy.
• Heavy drops fall back to the earth

Earth’s Water
• 97% salt water, 3% freshwater
• Oceans: Contain salt water– Parts named Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic
• Ice: Sheets of freshwater cover Antarctica (S. Pole) and Greenland (N. Pole). Icebergs break off and melt as they get closer to warm water.
![Page 8: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Rivers & Lakes: Sources of freshwater for humans. Contain very little of earth’s freshwater.
• Groundwater: Fills cracks and spaces in soil. More freshwater located here than in rivers and lakes.

Section 2: Surface Water
Pg. 318
![Page 10: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rivers
• Snow melts on mountains, and water runs off, eventually forming rivers.
• Tributaries: Feed into the main river.– A river system is made of the river and its
tributaries.
• Watersheds provide water for the river. They are also known as drainage basins.
![Page 11: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Divides: Are ridges of land that divide or separate watersheds.– Continental Divide is the longest in North America
and follows along the Rocky Mountains.
![Page 12: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ponds
• Small, shallow areas of standing water
• They form when water collects in low areas or hollows (depressions) in the land
• Can get water from rain, snow, ice, or runoff.
![Page 13: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lakes
• Deeper and bigger than ponds, sunlight doesn’t reach the bottom of a deep lake.
• Lakes form from the same processes as ponds, movements of earth’s crust, volcanoes that block rivers, empty craters of volcanoes, or dams.
• Reservoirs are lakes that hold human water supplies.
![Page 14: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wetlands
• An area that stays wet most of the year.• 3 types– Marshes: Grassy, covered by shallow water (No
tall plants)– Swamps: Flooded forests with trees Y Shrubs,
mostly in warm, humid climates.– Bogs: Cooler areas left from melting ice sheets
and has lots of moss.
![Page 15: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Wetlands (Cont…)
• Wetlands provide an area of nutrients that is good for growing certain foods, they provide habitats for animals, they help control floods by absorbing runoff from heavy rains.
![Page 16: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Section 3: Water Underground
Pg. 326
![Page 17: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How does groundwater move?
• Comes from precipitation
• It soaks into the ground from the force of gravity
• It moves and fills up spaces between particles and in cracks.
![Page 18: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Permeable vs. Impermeable
• Permeable rocks have large pores that allow water to pass through easily
• Impermeable rocks, such as clay and granite don’t allow water through easily.
• The more permeable rock in an area=the easier it is for water to soak in to the ground there.
![Page 19: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Saturated vs. Unsaturated
• Saturated Zone is totally filled (or saturated) with water…can’t take any more water– Top is called the Water table (uppermost layer of
groundwater in the saturated zone)
• Unsaturated zone is the area above the water table where more water can be absorbed.
![Page 20: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Groundwater Coming to Surface
• Springs form when groundwater flows from bubbles or cracks that go deep into the land.
• Aquifers are underground layers of rock and sediment that hold water.
• An area where the aquifer has been drilled is known as a well. Here, they drill below the water table to bring water to the surface.
![Page 21: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pumps
• Pumps can be used to bring ground water up easier than using a crank bucket.
• Pumping water out too fast can cause the well to dry up.
![Page 22: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Wells
• Artesian Wells are drilled where there is pressure in the aquifer that causes the water to rise on its own.
• A regular well requires an outside force to bring up the water.
![Page 23: FRESHWATER CHAPTER 10 PG. 314. Section 1: Water on Earth Pg. 314.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e415503460f94b326d4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Spring vs. Geyser
• Springs flow easily from cracks in the surface.
• Geysers are areas of hot springs where the water “erupts” from the earth with force. This force comes from the pressure in the steam of the water.
