The Blue Planet
• Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water– 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is freshwater
• Water can exist in three forms– Solid (Ice)– Gas (Water Vapor)– Liquid
![Page 3: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Water Cycle
• The three forms of water move through the environment via the water cycle
• There are several major processes of the water cycle– Evaporation- changes water from a liquid to a gas– Condensation- when water vapor cools to return to a
liquid– Precipitation- When liquids or solids fall from the
clouds– Transpiration- when plants release water vapor from
their leaves into the air

Groundwater
• Runoff is precipitation that runs off the ground
• Groundwater is water stored beneath the Earth’s surface– 22% of Earth’s freshwater is groundwater– Used for drinking water, daily household,
agricultural, and industrial needs– Accessed through wells
![Page 6: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Groundwater Natural Contaminants
• Groundwater is closely monitored for contaminants– Contaminants come from natural resources• Occurs when groundwater dissolves certain minerals
– Example: Hard water results from high concentrations of calcium
– Contaminants give water a disagreeable color, taste, and smell

Groundwater Affected by Humans
• Humans can contaminate groundwater– Not properly installed septic tanks– Pesticides and fertilizers from farms– Landfills– Chemical spills– Salt used on roads during icy conditions
*The quality of PA’s groundwater = GOOD!*

Surface Water
• Lakes and ponds hold ½ the liquid fresh water on the Earth’s surface- Rivers hold about 1% - Remaining fresh water is trapped in the Earth’s soil
![Page 10: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bodies of Water
![Page 11: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stream Characteristics• The place where any stream or river begins is called
the source• The place where a stream or river ends by flowing
into another body of water is called the mouth– Laminar flow occurs when water moves in a straight
path – Turbulent flow occurs when water movies in tiny circular
paths
![Page 12: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stream Characteristics: Velocity
• Velocity is the distance water flows during some period of time– Determines if flow will be laminar or turbulent – Quick flow = turbulent Slow flow = laminar
• Velocity determines the kind and amount of sediment that the water can carry
![Page 13: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stream Characteristics: Sediment Load
• There are three types of sediment load– 1. Dissolved load- dissolves some of the minerals
that make up the Earth’s surface
– 2. Suspended load- is sediment such as silt and clay that is in suspension
– 3. Bed load- sediment carried along the bottom of the channel such as sand, gravel, pebbles, and boulders
![Page 14: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stream Characteristics: River Deposits
• Rivers deposit sediment when velocity decreases– Deposits called bars form when a river slows down– Deposits can also form from overflow or flood• A flood plain is the part of the river valley that is covered
during a flood
![Page 15: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Major Drainage Patterns
• Drainage Patterns of rivers and their tributaries, or feeder streams, depend largely on topography (physical characteristics of land0
• There are four types of drainage patterns – 1. Dendritic Drainage– 2. Radial Drainage – 3. Rectangular Drainage– 4. Trellis Drainage
![Page 16: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dendritic Drainage Pattern
• This type of drainage resembles mature trees– The main river or stream is similar to a tree’s
trunk– The tributaries form the tree branches
• Dendritic Drainage forms where bedrock is uniform and massive– Ex. Plains region
![Page 17: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Radial Drainage Patterns
• Forms when streams flow from a high central area – Plateau or volcanic mountain
• Resembles spokes of a bicycle tire
![Page 18: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rectangular Drainage Pattern
• Form when bodies of rock are broken by a series of faults and fractures
• Bends in rectangular drainage form right angles
![Page 19: Lesson 1.1 pg. 1-6. The Blue Planet Nearly ¾ of the Earth’s surface is covered with water – 97% of the water on Earth is salt water – Remaining 3% is.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bf741a28abf838c7f77a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Trellis Drainage Patterns
• A type of rectangular pattern in which tributary streams are nearly parallel to each other
• Form when sections of softer, nonresistant rock alternate within sections of harder, resistant rock
