Where is almost all of earths freshwater? | Frozen in glaciers |
The amount of available freshwater is when people use more than the amount that flows in there area. | decreasing |
People only use what kind of water? | freshwater |
List three things that cause water shortages. | Droughts, overuse, and pollution |
What are three parts of earths system that we have have discussed in this unit. | Biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere |
How do drops of water form. | When enough water vapor gets cold and condenses into liquid water. |
Where dose water vapor in the come from. | Liquid water that has evaporated. |
How are water molecules in the states of water spaced. | Gas molecules are very spread out and move very fast, Liquid molecules are a little spread out and move slow, solid molecules are very tightly packed and don't move. |
Water molecules are not or when water changes from gas to liquid or liquid to gas. | created, destroyed |
for water droplets to form, the water molecules must get. | cold |
Water vaporer can come from any body of water. | true |
The water on earth today is not the same that was on earth hundreds of years ago. | false |
give an example of the hydrosphere and atmosphere interacting. | liquid water evaporates to form water vapor in the atmosphere. |
give an example of the biosphere and hydrosphere interacting. | people using water. |

All of the water on earth, | hydrosphere |
water in the form of invisible gas. | water vapor |
the air that surrounds earth. | atmosphere |
When gas turns into liquid. | condensation |
