• Where is the Earths water located?
• What are the processes of the water cycle?

  of the earth.

How much of Earths surface is covered by water?

• More than 70 of Earths surface is covered by
  water.
• 97 is salt water.
• 3 is fresh water.

How much of Earths surface is covered by water?

• We can only use a small amount of fresh water
  becausemost fresh water is found frozen in
  glaciers and ice caps. The rest is groundwater or
  water vapour.
• Only about 0.3 of fresh water is found in
  rivers, swamps and lakes within our reach.

What is the water cycle process?

• 1. EVAPORATION
• Liquid water becomes water vapour.

9
What is the water cycle process?

• 2. TRANSPIRATION
• Plants absorb water from the ground then the
  water evaporates as water vapour.

10
What is the water cycle process?

• 3. CONDENSATION
• A gas is changed into a liquid. When cold air
  makes water vapour condense to form clouds.

11
What is the water cycle process?

• 4. PRECIPITATION
• Clouds are a mixture of air, water vapour and
  tiny drops of condensed water. These tiny drops
  form into bigger drops and create precipitation
  (water). Precipitation falls from the air as
  rain, hail or snow.

12
What is the water cycle process?

• 5. SURFACE RUN-OFF
• Water from precipitation that runs off the
  surface of the Earth, filling lakes, streams,
  rivers and oceans.

13
What is the water cycle process?

• 6. INFILTRATION
• Not all water flows into rivers. Some water
  infiltrates through porous land surfaces into the
  ground.
