    Study Notes

    The Importance of Water on Earth

    • Oceans cover about 70% of the Earth's surface and are vital for supporting various plant and animal life.
    • Ocean currents are like rivers in the ocean, and they play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate.
    • Rivers are large natural streams of freshwater that flow into lakes or oceans, and they usually originate in hills or mountains.
    • Lakes are large bodies of water surrounded by land, and they can form naturally or be created by humans using dams.
    • Groundwater, which is freshwater underground, can be accessed through springs or wells and is essential for agriculture and drinking water.
    • Water vapor in the atmosphere forms clouds, and when the droplets cool, they fall to the Earth as rain or snow.
    • Water exists in three states: liquid (used for drinking, cooking, and cleaning), solid (ice, found in polar regions and glaciers), and gas (water vapor in the atmosphere).
    • The Water Cycle is a continuous process where water evaporates, forms clouds, and falls back to Earth as precipitation, sustaining life on the planet.
    • The North Pole is the Arctic, and the South Pole is Antarctica, both covered in ice and snow, with glaciers and icebergs.
    • Water is essential for various human activities, such as drinking, cooking, cleaning, and recreation like boating and fishing.
    • The water cycle involves the constant movement of water, from evaporation to precipitation, and is vital for sustaining life on Earth.
    • Water is a precious resource that supports life and various human activities, and its availability and quality are essential for the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants.
