Largest Bodies of Water

How do glaciers form?

• Glaciers form from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years, turning into ice.

• Glaciers are formed by the melting of icebergs in the ocean.

• Glaciers are created by volcanic activity that freezes lava.

• Glaciers form from the evaporation of water in lakes and rivers.

What is saltwater?

• Water that contains a high concentration of salts, primarily found in oceans.

• Water that is safe for drinking and cooking.

• Water that is free from any minerals or salts.

• Water that is used for irrigation purposes.

What is a river?

• A flowing body of water that moves from higher ground to lower ground, often emptying into an ocean, lake, or another river.

• A large body of saltwater that covers most of the Earth's surface.

• A small stream that does not connect to any larger body of water.

• A stagnant body of water that does not flow.

What is a lake?

• A small pond of water surrounded by land.

• A large body of water surrounded by land.

What is the role of glaciers in the environment?

• Glaciers store freshwater and help regulate the Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight.

• Glaciers primarily serve as habitats for polar bears and seals.

• Glaciers are responsible for creating earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

What are oceans?

• The largest bodies of freshwater on Earth.

• The largest bodies of saltwater on Earth, covering about 71% of the planet's surface.

• Small bodies of water found in deserts.

• Artificial lakes created by humans.

What is freshwater?

• Water with high concentrations of salts found in oceans.

• Water that has low concentrations of salts, found in rivers, lakes, and glaciers.

• Water that is only found in underground aquifers.

• Water that is safe for drinking but contains high levels of minerals.
