Drainage Basins: A plot of land where rain falls and enters a common river, slowly increasing its size until reaching the ocean.
The area separating different drainage systems is a continental divide.
Ground Water: Ground water makes its way through pores of rock. Porous rocks let water flow through them. A layer of porous rocks is called an aquifer. City dwellers get water from reservoirs, which are man made lakes. Rural areas get their water from wells, which pump water from the aquifer.
Glaciers: Two-thirds of the worlds fresh water is trapped in glaciers. Alpine glaciers form in mountains and then travel downhill slowly. Continental glaciers cover large ares of land on ice sheets. When the glaciers reach the ocean, gravity will melt the tips and they will break off falling into the ocean, becoming an iceberg.
Weathering, erosion, and deposition all factor into shaping the Earth.
Many caves were formed due to weathering in this park in Utah.
The Water Cycle
Professions Related to Water
Evaporation: Heat is applied to
water, turning it into water vapor.
Condensation: Heat is lost from water, turning it back into a liquid.
Precipitation: Water is stored in clouds until the cloud is full. Once full, it releases all of it's water. The type of precipitation (rain, snow, hail, etc) can depend on the air pressure, air temperature, and the wind.
Cycling: After the precipitation stage, the cycle will repeat again as the water particles are again heated.
An "informative" video based on the water cycle.
Never again, I say.
Density of Salt Water: Because of the salt, ocean water is denser than salt water. Out of the 3.5% of ocean water that is a salt, 30.6% is sodium, 55% is chloride, and the 14.4% other minerals.
An example of a striation caused by glaciers. Shoutout to Bob Ford, by the way.
Freezing Point of Salt Water: Fresh water freezes at 0 degrees. Salt water freezes at -1.9 degrees
Salinity is the amount of salt dissolved. Sea water is 200x times saltier than fresh water.
Factors Effecting Run Off:
The water's saltiness comes from water running of the land. The rain, falls into streams, and eventually into the ocean. Undersea volcanice eruptions emit sulfur, flourine, chlorine, and hydrogen. They fall into the ocean making it salty.

They're pretty important, I guess
