Grade 8 Week 12: Water moves on Earth

After our look at the water cycle we will be examining other ways water moves around the Earth. From last Friday's presentations - what are some other parts of the water cycle that we learned? (like sublimation)

How does freshwater move on Earth?
How does it move due to gravity?
How does it move as ice?
How does it move underground?







Contract week 12 has you look at how we get our water in Plymouth, the Great Lakes, and the eutrophication of Lake Sheboygan(the marsh).

It moves as ice because it is a solid and does not melt but as the ice starts to melt it turns into water at a different location.

Freshwater moves down mountains and then can drop into drainage basins. There the water evaporates and then moves through the air as water vapor. Then it can condence and become certain forms of precipatation like rain or snow

freshwater moves throught the water ccyle and also underground. it moves downward like on a hill it would move down the side of the hill (runoff). underground it moves through sand and gravel and through well into homes or buildings.

Water moves on Eath as a solid, liquid, and gas. Liquid water can move down hills as it comes down from clouds. Tiny water particles are all around us, however, we don't feel them. Solid's can melt and become liquids at the right temperature.
