Location of Water
Approximate percentage of Earth covered in water
What is 71%?
Process that explains how water goes from earth into the atmosphere and back to earth again
What is The Water Cycle?
The measure of dissolved salts in a body of water
What is Salinity?
It heats up water molecules, causing warmer water to rise and colder, denser water to sink
What is the Sun?
I'm tide and only occur twice per month during a Full Moon and New Moon
What is a Spring Tide?
Percentage of the water on earth that is Oceanwater/Saltwater
What is 97%?
Process of water changing states from a liquid to a gas vapor
What is Evaporation?
Ocean water salinity increases as
What is depth increases?
Caused by the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull and Earth’s rotation are the main causes of tides on earth
What are Tides?
An underground reservoir of freshwater (groundwater)
What is an Aquifer?
Source of the most Freshwater on Earth
What is Ice Caps and Glaciers?
Water falling to earth in the form of snow, sleet, rain, or hail
What is Precipitation?
Water can become more dense due to increased salinity and/or
What is cooling or cooler temperatures?
Three types of "Motion in the Ocean"
What are waves, currents, and tides?
Ocean that borders the state of Georgia
What is the Atlantic?
The amount of water on earth that is available for drinking, farming, industry, and other human use.
What is 1%?
Water vapor gas cools, change states, and becomes a liquid
What is Condensation?
A measure of how much "stuff" (matter) is packed into a certain amount of space in the water; Also, it is a measure of Mass divided by Volume (M/V)
What is water density?
Deepest part of the ocean floor topography that probably has the highest salinity
What is an Ocean Trench?
A large body of salt water that is smaller than an ocean and is typically located where the land and ocean meet, often partially enclosed by land; Also, a homophone for "SEE"
What is a Sea/
Source/Location of most of the water that evaporates into the Water Cycle
What are Oceans?
Freshwater that penetrates into the ground and is located between sediment particles; Aquifer is a source
What is Groundwater?
Water can become more dense due to increased salinity and/or
What is cooling or colder temperatures?
Can be defined as a flow of electricity; Can be defined as recent; or Can be defined as a motion in the ocean caused by wind, tides, and differences in water temperature and salinity
What is a Current?
The only known substance that can exist in all three phases of matter
What is Water?
