The Water Planet

The document discusses where water is found on Earth. It notes that about 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water in oceans. It also lists other locations where water can be found, including rivers, lakes, the atmosphere, aquifers, glaciers, soil, living things, and bottled water. It defines fresh water as water without salt. Most of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and polar ice caps. The document contains charts about water distribution and forms water can take in different locations like the atmosphere, glaciers, and groundwater. It discusses the water cycle and how playing a water cycle game illustrated the unique path each water molecule can take compared to the traditional single path water cycle model.

* The Water Planet

Monday November 9th

* Of all of the planets in


the Solar System,
Earth is the only one
with vast oceans of
water.
* About 70% of Earths
surface is covered by
water.

* Not all of Earths water


is in the oceans

* Where are some of the


other places where
water is found on
Earth?

*Planet Earth or The

Water Planet?

* Rivers and Streams


* Lakes and ponds
* Atmosphere
* Aquifers or
groundwater

* Glaciers, snow, and

other ice
* Soil moisture
* Water in living things
* Bottle water &
beverages

*Water on Earth

* What do we mean by Fresh Water?


* Water that contains NO SALT

* Most of Earths fresh water is in Glaciers and


Polar Icecaps

* Ocean + Ice = 99.4% of Earths water


* Leaving 0.6% available to humans.

*Fresh Water

*Water Distribution

Chart

* In what form is water


found in the
atmosphere?

* Water vapor
* Ice
* Snow
* Hail
* Sleet
* Rain

* In what form is water


found in glaciers?

* Ice-solid water

*In what form?

* What is groundwater?

* Water that is found underground in spaces

between rock particles, in cracks, and other


solid earth deposits.

* In what form is water found under the ground


or as groundwater?

* Mostly liquid, but some water might exist as ice

if the ground is cold, or as water vapor in spaces


between rocks and soil.

*Groundwater

* Every person record group results & total.


* One person from each group share groups total
at each location.

* How is what you learned from playing the

Water-Cycle Game different from this classic


water cycle?

*Class Results

Traditional Water
Cycle

Nehers Water

* Water vapor escaping from plants-

condensing as dew- going into the


soil.
* Ocean-condenses-precipitates-ocean
* Stuck in ocean?

* Any movement of water that follows


a path to move water around Earth
* Atmosphere-Land
* Land-Sea
* Solid-Liquid-Gas

*One set path? Or

Unique to each water


molecule?

* Transpiration:

* The process of liquid water leaving a plant as


water vapor.

* Percolation:

* The process of a liquid slowly passing through a

filter.
* For example, coffee being brewed as it passes through
a filter.
