This is the density of ocean water. Is it denser than fresh water?
What is 1027 kg/m3 and yes?
100
The amount of water that is drinkable (freshwater) on the Earth.
What is 3%?
100
Is the process of breaking down rock into smaller fragments.
What is weathering?
100
This is the percent of the Earth's surface that is covered in water.
What is 70%?
200
This is the reason why the water cycle occurs.
What is because heat energy is constantly being added or taken away from water in it's various states.
200
These areas are where the water is saltiest. Give reasons why it is this way.
-north/south poles because the water freezes into ice leaving only salt behind, -the equator/tropical areas because the water evaporates into water vapour leaving only salt behind.
200
How much of Earth's fresh water supply is readily available?
What is 1%
200
Physical weathering, chemical weathering.
What is the two main types of weathering?
200
The word "arete" comes from the ________ word ________ which means ______ of _________ or _________ ________.
What is Latin, arista, ear, corn, fish bone
300
The three places water can be stored.
What is in the atmosphere, in the oceans and in the ground.
300
This is how volcanoes contribute to the saltiness of ocean water.
What is volcanoes release sulfur, fluorine, chlorine and hydrogen into the air which lands in oceans and undersea volcanoes that spew this directly into the water.
300
Like a bathroom sink
What is a drainage basin
300
After rock becomes weakened and broken down into fragments, those pieces are transported from their original location.
What is erosion?
300
The Fraser River drainage basin covers an area equal to almost half of the entire province of British Columbia. The river moves and average of ____________ ______ of water per second.
What is 3972 m²

Clouds release precipitation depending on these conditions.
What is the conditions of air pressure, air temperature and wind.
400
The two dissolved solids that occur more than others and what percent they are of all the dissolved solids in the ocean.
What is sodium ions and chloride ions and 85.6%
400
A layer of rock that is porous and allows water to flow through it.
What is an aquifer.
400
Ridge of rocky material deposited by a glacier.
What is moraine?
400
Ocean water conatins valuble minerals such as gold, copper, and uranium. However, before you consider mining the ocean's water, you should know that ther is only about ____ part of gold for every ________ _________ parts of sea water.
What is 250 billion

Explain the entire process of the water cycle with every part IN DETAIL. *DOUBLE POINTS IF YOUR ANSWER IS DETAILED ENOUGH!!!*
What is the sun causes water from the earth to evaporate into water vapour. When the air cools, condensation occurs and water droplets from the water vapour form. These water droplets create clouds. Depending on the conditions, the clouds release precipitation such as rain, sleet, snow, hail. Some water lands in water bodies and some on land. Much of the water gradually forms into streams/rivers. Then this process repeats.
500
This is the freezing point of ocean water. Is it higher than fresh water's freezing point?
What is -1.9 and no.
500
The depth when a narrow hole is drilled or dug into the ground where water can be found.
What is a water table
500
Bowl-shaped valley at the head of a glacier.
What is cirque?

Only about 1/10 000 of all the water available on Earth is found in the atmosphere. If all the eater in the atmosphere were to be released as rain at once, the planet would be covered to a depth of only about _________ cm.
What is 2.5
