Main Concepts
Water vapor is a gaseous form of water found in the atmosphere in fog or clouds.
Water on Earth’s surface can be found in the form of ice, snow, and running water.
Water can fall from clouds in the atmosphere as precipitation, such as rain or snow.
The hydrosphere includes Earth’s water in liquid, ice, and gas form, including the water in the atmosphere, oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, soils, and groundwater.
Groundwater is water that flows beneath Earth’s surface through soil and rocks.
97% of Earth’s water is salt water located in the ocean.
Salinity is a measure of how much salt is dissolved in water.
The ocean covers 70 percent of the surface of Earth.
Only a small fraction of Earth’s freshwater is located on Earth’s streams, lakes, wetlands, and the atmosphere.
Most of Earth’s freshwater is located in glaciers, polar ice caps, or in groundwater.
The salinity of ocean water can vary in different locations.
Surface runoff is water that moves downhill across Earth’s surface towards the ocean due to the force of gravity.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What parts of the Earth make up the hydrosphere? What is salinity? How much of the Earth is covered by oceans?
After the Game
Which bodies of water are considered freshwater and which bodies of water are considered salt water? Which bodies of water are holding most of the Earth's freshwater supply? What are examples of water in the atmosphere that exists in its gaseous state? In what forms can precipitation fall to the Earth?
