* More than 70 percent of Earth’s surface is water * All of Earth’s oceans and seas run into one another. * The Sea

* 97% Ocean * 3% Fresh water * Less than 1% fresh water that we can drink. * Glaciers * Determined by the amount of water in the Ocean * Colder  water freezes *  Sea level drops * Warmer  ice melts *  Sea level rises

* Equator * Parallel * North Pole = 90 degrees N * South Pole = 90 degrees S * Prime Meridian * East and West * 180 degrees E and W
