15. Delta- an area where a river breaks into many different streams flowing towards a sea

Water Cycle -

16. Does the amount of water on earth ever change? NO 17. Water Cycle- water goes from the oceans, to the air, to the ground and back into the oceans.

a.a. Evaporation- when water changes from a liquid to a gas called water vapor

(a.a.1) What determines how much water the air holds?-the air’s temperature

(a.a.2) What type of air holds more water vapor?-warm air holds more water vapor than cool air

a.b. Condensation- water changes from a gas back into a liquid (clouds)

a.c. Precipitation- when water droplets fall to the ground

(a.c.1.a) rain

(a.c.1.b) snow

(a.c.1.c) Sleet/hail

a.d. Collection- water collects on the ground in rivers, lakes and streams

18. Why is very little of Earth’s freshwater usable? Most of it is in ice or solid form in glaciers

and on the top of mountains.
