Study Notes
- Geography is the study of the Earth and the interactions between human beings and the planet
"I Can" Revision Checklist: Water in the World Assessment
- Classify natural resources as renewable, non-renewable, or continuous, providing at least two examples of each
- Label the stages of the water cycle, including transpiration, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration
- Define each stage of the water cycle, explaining transpiration, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration
- Analyse rainfall patterns using the PQE (Pattern, Quantify, Exception) method to interpret a map
- Explain the connection between water and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including its cultural and spiritual significance
- Describe water scarcity, including its definition, causes, and effects
- Suggest and explain management strategies for addressing water scarcity in Australia and North Africa
Key Definitions
- Renewable resource: A natural resource that can be replaced naturally over time if used wisely (e.g., water, forests, fresh air, plants, animals, fertile soil, fisheries)
- Non-renewable resource: A natural resource that cannot be replaced quickly once it is used up (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas)
- Continuous resource: A natural resource that will never run out, no matter how much it is used (e.g., solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, geothermic energy)
- Water cycle: The continuous movement of water within the Earth and the atmosphere
- Transpiration: When water from plants and trees enters the atmosphere
- Condensation: When water vapour cools down in the atmosphere and turns into tiny water droplets, forming clouds
- Evaporation: When the sun heats up water from rivers, lakes, and oceans, turning it into water vapour that rises into the air
- Precipitation: Any form of moisture that reaches the Earth's surface from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, hail, sleet, snow)
- Run-off: When water from rain, melting snow, or other sources flows over the land and into rivers, lakes, and oceans
- Infiltration: When water soaks into the ground and moves through the soil to join underground water supplies
- Surface water: Any freshwater that is sent into wetlands, stream systems, and lakes
- Groundwater: Water that soaks into the ground and is stored in soil and rocks underground
- Aquifer: An underground layer of rock or soil that holds and carries groundwater
- Water scarcity: When there is not enough clean water for people to use in a place
