Water is polar
Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on
the hydrogens, a partial negative charge on the oxygen,
and a bent overall structure. This is because oxygen is
more electronegative, meaning that it is better than
hydrogen at attracting electrons.
EXAMPLE Soap and Water Cleaning
Water is an excellent solvent
Water has the unique ability to dissolve many polar and

ionic substances. This is important to all living things
because, as water travels through the water cycle, it takes
many valuable nutrients along with it
EXAMPLE Sugar Dissolving in Water
Water has high heat capacity
It takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of a
certain amount of water by a degree, so water helps with
regulating temperature in the environment. For example,
this property allows the temperature of water in a pond to
stay relatively constant from day to night, regardless of the
changing atmospheric temperature.
EXAMPLE OCEANS
Water has high heat of vaporization
Humans (and other animals that sweat) use water’s

high heat of vaporization to cool off. Water is
converted from its liquid form to steam when the heat
of vaporization is reached. Since sweat is made
mostly of water, the evaporating water absorbs excess
body heat, which is released into the atmosphere.
This is known as evaporative cooling.
EXAMPLE SWEATING
Water has cohesive and adhesive properties
Cohesion: Think of cohesion as the tendency of molecules of the same

substance to stick together.
Adhesion: Adhesion is the tendency of different substances to stick

together.
Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid
As water freezes, the molecules form a crystalline

structure that spaces the molecules further apart than
in liquid water. This means that ice is less dense than
liquid water, which is why it floats.
EXAMPLE
WATER IS ONE OF THE FEW SUBSTANCES THAT
EXPANDS WHEN IT FREEZES. THIS MEANS THAT
WHEN WATER FREEZES AND TURNS INTO ICE, IT
TAKES UP MORE SPACE THAN IT DID WHEN IT
WAS A LIQUID. AS A RESULT, ICE IS LESS DENSE
THAN LIQUID WATER.
TOPIC 2
It’s importance in various

environmental processes
Environment plays an important role in healthy living and the
existence of life on planet earth. Earth is a home for different living
species and we all are dependent on the environment for food, air,
water, and other needs. Therefore, it is important for every individual
to save and protect our environment.
Water is a constant reminder that life
repeats. It's the only element that has a
visible cycle.
Water is a constant reminder that life
repeats. It's the only element that has a
visible cycle.
THE IMPORTANT FACTS WHY WATER IS IMPORTANT.
1. Water is involved in every bodily function from digestion and

circulation through to the control of body temperature and the
excretion of waste products
Humans (and other animals that sweat) use water’s high heat of vaporization to cool off.
Water is converted from its liquid form to steam when the heat of vaporization is reached.
Since sweat is made mostly of water, the evaporating water absorbs excess body heat,
which is released into the atmosphere. This is known as evaporative cooling.
2. Water is known as “the universal solvent”
The water acts as a solvent for chemical reactions and also helps transport
dissolved compounds into and out of cells.
3. Water serves as a living environment
There is no living thing on Earth that doesn't need water to live. All animals,
plants, protists, fungi and bacteria must have water in some form in order to
survive.
4. Apart from drinking water to survive, people have many other uses
for water. These include:
-cooking
-washing their bodies
-washing clothes
-washing cooking and eating utensils; such as billies, saucepans, crockery
and cutlery
-keeping houses and communities clean
-recreation; such as swimming pools
-keeping plants alive in gardens and parks
5. Water is also essential for the healthy growth of farm crops and farm
stock and is used in the manufacture of many products.
TOPIC 3
Hydrologic Cycle
Hydrologic Cycle
The hydrologic cycle, is a
biogeochemical cycle that involves the
continuous movement of water on,
above and below the surface of the
Earth. The mass of water on Earth
remains fairly constant over time.
Hydrologic Cycle
• The hydrologic cycle begins with
the evaporation of water from the
surface of the ocean.
Evaporation is the process of a liquid's

surface changing to a gas. In the water
cycle, liquid water (in the ocean, lakes,
or rivers) evaporates and becomes
water vapor.
Hydrologic Cycle
• As moist air is lifted, it cools and water
vapor condenses to form clouds.
Condensation is the change of water from its

gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water.
Condensation generally occurs in the
atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and
looses its capacity to hold water vapor.
Hydrologic Cycle
• Moisture is transported around the globe
until it returns to the surface as
precipitation.
In the hydrologic cycle, transport is the

movement of water through the atmosphere,
specifically from over the oceans to over land.
Hydrologic Cycle
Precipitation - transfer of water from
the atmosphere back to earth
Precipitation is the primary mechanism for

transporting water from the atmosphere to
the surface of the earth.
Hydrologic Cycle
Once the water reaches the ground, one
of two processes may occur;
1) some of the water may evaporate back into

the atmosphere or
2) the water may penetrate the surface and

become groundwater.
Hydrologic Cycle
Groundwater either seeps its way to
into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or
is released back into the atmosphere
through transpiration.
Transpiration is the evaporation of
water into the atmosphere from the
leaves and stems of plants.
Hydrologic Cycle
The balance of water that remains on
the earth's surface is runoff, which
empties into lakes, rivers and streams
and is carried back to the oceans,
where the cycle begins again.
Runoff is the transfer of

landwater to the oceans
Hydrologic Cycle
Lake effect snowfall is good example
of the hydrologic cycle at work.
THAT’S ALL THANK
YOU!!
