2. Agree Disagree 1._______ ________ 2._______ ________ 3._______ ________ 5._______ ________ 4._______ ________ About 60% of the water on Earth is contained in the oceans Water can be found in all 3 states of matter on Earth Most of the freshwater on Earth is solid More humans get their drinking water from rivers than any other source Water can escape from plants through their leaves

3. I. Hydrosphere A. Hydrosphere – all of the water on Earth 1. Includes: oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater, ice, and clouds

4. II. Distribution of Water on Earth A. 97% of Earth’s water is salt water in the oceans.

12. III. Water Cycle A. Evaporation  Condensation  Precipitation 1.The water cycle renews our supply of freshwater. 2.Percolation: ground absorbing water 3.Run off: water that runs off of the land into bodies of water (lakes, streams, creeks, etc.)
