Answer this?
• Is there more fresh water or salt water on the Earth?
![Page 7: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Most of Earth’s water is in its oceans and seas (97%)
![Page 8: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh water.
![Page 9: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most fresh water is frozen in glaciers and in the North and South Poles
![Page 10: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The water on Earth’s surface is called the hydrosphere.
![Page 11: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Water is constantly moving between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere through a process called the water cycle
![Page 12: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A heavy rainfall may leave many puddles on your street today.
![Page 13: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tomorrow the puddles may slowly shrink and vanish under a warm sunny sky.
![Page 14: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Several days later, clouds may again gather in the sky and produce rain that creates new puddles.
![Page 15: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• These events illustrate the process known as the water cycle.
![Page 16: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• The water cycle happens because of four repeating processes: transpiration, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
![Page 18: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• The water cycle, also called the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous movement of water between the surface of Earth and the troposphere.
![Page 20: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Transpiration is the process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. Water is first absorbed
by the plant’s roots,
and then later exits by evaporation through pores in the plant.
![Page 21: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Evaporation
• Evaporation is the process in which liquid water changes into invisible water vapor (water in the form of gas). Heat from sunlight makes evaporation happen.
![Page 22: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Condensation
• Condensation is the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water. Condensation occurs as air with water vapor in it cools. Clouds are evidence of condensation. Clouds are formed when water vapor cools and condenses into tiny liquid water droplets.
![Page 23: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Precipitation
• Precipitation occurs when water or a form of ice falls from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface. Precipitation forms when water droplets in clouds grow and become too heavy to stay in the atmosphere.
![Page 24: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Ocean Currents.• A) Great rivers of water, called ocean
currents, flow through the world’s oceans. There are two types of ocean currents: Surface currents and Deep currents.
![Page 93: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Surface Currents
• A) Strong winds cause
surface currents
![Page 94: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Surface Currents
• B) Earth’s rotation curls surface currents
• C) Surface currents rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
![Page 95: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Deep Currents
• A) Deep currents are caused by differences in water density.
![Page 96: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Deep Currents • B) Dense water sinks bringing oxygen down from the surface. This is called Downwelling. The oxygen allows animals to live in the deep ocean.
![Page 97: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Deep Currents – Cont’d
• C) Upwelling is the movement of water up to the surface. Because this process brings up nutrients fro the deep ocean, large numbers of ocean animals live in areas where upwelling occurs.
![Page 98: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Currents interact with climate and weather.
• Currents help distribute heat around the Earth by moving warm water away from the equator and cool water away from the north and south poles.

A wave in the ocean has the same basic shape as many other waves
• The crest is the high point of the wave
• The trough is the low point of the wave
• Wave height is the vertical distance between the top of the crest and the bottom of the trough.
• Wavelength is the distance between one wave crest and the next.
![Page 103: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Waves• A) waves transport energy NOT water
![Page 104: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Waves cause Currents
• A) Longshore Current– Moves water parallel to the shore.
• B) Rip Current– Are narrow streams of water that break
through sandbars and drain rapidly back to sea. Rip currents occur when high winds or waves cause a larger-than-usual amount of water to wash back from the shore.
![Page 105: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Tides
• S6E3. D Students will explain the cause of the waves, currents and tides.
• Chapter 13.4
![Page 106: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Tides• Tides are
changes in ocean water levels that take place in a regular pattern. Tides are controlled mostly by the pull of gravity between the moon and Earth.
![Page 107: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
• The force of gravity due to the moon pulls ocean water away from Earth’s surface. As earth rotates, water is pulled up onto the shore at parts of Earth that face directly toward or away from the moon, causing high tides.
![Page 108: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Spring Tide
• During the new moon and the full moon, the moon, the sun and the Earth are lined up.
• The gravity of the Sun and the gravity of the Moon combine to pull Earth’s waters in the same directions.
• The result is a smaller tidal bulge and tidal dip, called a spring tide.
![Page 109: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)

Neap Tides
• During the first and third quarter moons , the Sun and the Moon are not lined up with Earth.
• The gravity pulls from a different direction.
• The result is a smaller tidal bulge and tidal dip, called a neap tide.
![Page 111: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Tidal Range
• Tidal range is the difference in height between a high tide and the next low tide.
![Page 112: Hydrology](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5558f7e0d8b42ac04d8b4862/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
• At the same time, ocean water is pulled away from the shorelines of points on Earth that are not pulled by the moon at that moment. These areas experience low tides.
