Study Notes
Evaporation
- Evaporation is a key component of the water cycle.
- Water evaporates from bodies of water and through biological processes like transpiration in plants and respiration in animals.
- This evaporated water then rises into the atmosphere.
Water Acidity
- Cloud water is slightly acidic.
- The pH range for cloud water is typically between 4.5 and 5.
- This acidity is caused by dissolved carbon dioxide and other acidic gases present in water droplets.
Test Questions
- Approximately 97% of Earth's water is salty.
- Groundwater exposed to calcium carbonate rocks is rich in H⁺ ions.
- Groundwater exposed to magnesium carbonate rocks is water mixed with sodium chloride.
- The hydrosphere encompasses water in all states: liquid, gas, and solid.
- Freshwater makes up a small percentage of the Earth's total water.
