Unit 4 Earth Systems

Evaporation

• water containing a high amount of salt

• a natural or artificial place where water is stored

• occurs when water changes into water vapor

• when water vapor cools down and becomes liquid water again

Saline water

• a natural or artificial place where water is stored

• water containing a high amount of salt

• the system of Earth that includes all living things (like plants, animals, and bacteria)

• water containing very low amounts of salt

Fresh water

• water containing very low amounts of salt

• all the waters on the Earth's surface

• occurs when water droplets gets too heavy and gravity pulls the water back towards the Earth (including snow and rain)

• water in the form of a gas

Reservoirs

• the process of removing salt

• the way in which something is shared or spread out

• to protect something from damage or waste

• a natural or artificial place where water is stored

Desalination

• layer of gases that surround the Earth

• the process of removing salt

• weather patterns over a long period of time

• returning something to its original condition

Distribute

• the way in which something is shared or spread out

• water containing very low amounts of salt

• the system of Earth that includes all living things (like plants, animals, and bacteria)

• all the waters on the Earth's surface

Conserve

• includes all the solid, natural parts of Earth (like rocks and minerals)

• occurs when water droplets gets too heavy and gravity pulls the water back towards the Earth (including snow and rain)

• to protect something from damage or waste

• occurs when water changes into water vapor

Geosphere

• returning something to its original condition

• layer of gases that surround the earth
