Aquifers are sources of
freshwater, which is used for drinking, bathing, and watering crops.
saltwater, which is pushed through turbines to make energy.
oil, which is drilled from the aquifer and used to power homes.
silica, which is used to make glass and paper products.
Why are oceans a major part of the water cycle?
because they are large bodies of salt water that easily evaporate salt into the air
because they are large bodies of salt water that fresh water can be evaporated from
because the salt water condenses easily to become a gas in the air
because the salt water runs off onto land to fill lakes and streams

become vapor.
The ice will become vapor, then the vapor will
become water.

gas.
take in heat energy from the Sun and turn into a
liquid.

some of it never returns to Earth's surface once
it evaporates

Wyatt takes a bottle of juice out of the
refrigerator. He notices that water begins to form
on the outside of the bottle. Which of the
following explains why the water started to form?
Evaporation occurs on the bottle because the
room is cooler than the bottle.
The bottle is freezing because the room is
cooler the bottle.
The bottle is melting because the room is
warmer than the bottle.
Condensation forms on the bottle because the
room is warmer than the bottle.
