Review - Measuring Matter

  • Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

  • Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.

  • Density is the amount of mass in a specific volume.

  • We measure density using a calculator, and our units are g/mL.

States of Matter

  • Water's Density changes as temperature changes.

  • In Science class, we'll use Celsius to measure the temperature.

  • Liquid water changes to a gas at 100 degrees Celsius.

  • Below 100, water is a liquid.

  • Above 100, water is a gas.

15

Density and Convection Currents

  • The water cycle on Earth's crust and the magma cycle in Earth's mantle follow the same pattern of temperature change, density change, location change.

  • Particles heat up, spread out, and rise.

  • Then particles cool down, pack together, and sink.

Review -

The Water Cycle

  • We have been discussing the water cycle, which describes how water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere, and back again.

  • The sun heats the water, which spread out and rises to the atmosphere, where it cools and sinks back to Earth.

  • We call these changes Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation.

Reorder

Sequence these events in the water cycle.

START: The sun heats the liquid water.

Water vapor expands and rises to the atmosphere.

The atmosphere cools the vapor.

The vapor packs together to form clouds.

Gravity pulls the water back to Earth's surface.

Review - The Hydrosphere

  • Scientists classify Earth's water to make it easier to study.

  • Oceans are liquid saltwater, and compose 97% of Earth's water.

  • Glaciers are frozen freshwater and compose 2% of Earth's water.

  • Accessible Water is the water humans use to meet their needs. It is liquid freshwater, and composes 1% of Earth's water.

Accessing Groundwater

  • Humans use groundwater to drink and to irrigate crops.

  • To access groundwater, people dig a hole called a "well."

  • If the water table is above the well, humans can access the water.

  • If the water table is below the well, the well will run dry.

  • When the water table is too low for people to meet their needs, the area is said to have a "drought."

Refilling and Protecting Groundwater

  • Refilling Groundwater is part of the water cycle.

  • Most groundwater started as precipitation

    that is pulled down toward's Earth's center by gravity.

  • It is stopped by rocks that are too dense to pass through, which are called "Bedrock."

  • Dangerous chemicals like fertilizer and pesticides, and leakage from landfills or septic tanks are also pulled down by gravity and can pollute the groundwater.
