what is the hydrosphere:All the wet lands on the earths surface such as lakes, oceans, seas and sometimes including water over the earths as clouds
STRUCTURES OF THE HYDROSPHERE
*Oceans-96.5% of water found here
* Fresh water-3.5% of water found here
* ice: 1.762%
* Groundwater: 1.7%
* Surface Fresh Water: 0.014%
* Atmosphere and soil: 0.002
WHAT FEATURES HOLD WATER AS ICE
* Glaciers-wich is any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land
* Icebergs- a large piece of freshwater ice floating in open waters
* permanent snow areas also ―house‖ water as ice
* River Basin- the term used to describe an area that drains into a large river
* Watershed: the term used to describe an area that drains into a smaller river or stream
WHAT IS A RIVER
-A river is a channel in which water is continuously flowing down a slope
WHAT IS A STREAM
-A small channel in which water is continuously flowing down a slope

HOW DO GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER INTERACT
- Ground water is The water found in cracks and pores in sand, gravel and rocks below earths surface the development of ground water and surface water affects the quantity and quality of the other.
HUMAN IMPACT ON WATER
-humans impact water in many ways we pollute water we reuse water we waste water and we treat water but one of the main problems of our day today is water pollution and this is because the increase of Co2 in the atmosphere with increases the ph levels in water and the turbity of the water which makes it unsafe to drink.
PROCESSES OF THE WATER CYCLE
*condensation
*precipitation
*runoff
*evaporation
*infiltration
*transpiration
*freezing
*melting
