Example Question #1 : Explain How Water On Earth Can Be Solid Or Liquid
The photo below represents water in what state(s)?
Solid
Neither solid nor liquid
Both solid and liquid
Liquid
Both solid and liquid
Water on Earth can be found in both the liquid and solid states depending on the temperature and conditions of the environment it is in. In this photo, both states of water are present. There is liquid water in the ocean or sea, and the large blocks of ice are solid glaciers.
Example Question #1 : Explain How Water On Earth Can Be Solid Or Liquid
Which photo represents water in a liquid form?
Water on Earth can be found in both liquid and solid states. Three of the photographs show water in the solid form - the glacier, the ice cubes, and icicles are frozen water. The only photo that demonstrates water in a liquid form is the waterfall.
Example Question #1 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Which answer choice correctly lists places where water can be found on Earth?
Oceans, underground, ponds, and streams
Glaciers, lakes, icebergs, and rivers
Rivers, ponds, oceans, and lakes
All of the choices list places where water can be found.
All of the choices list places where water can be found.
Water is everywhere on Earth. It can be found underground, in glaciers, icebergs, lakes, streams, ponds, rivers, and oceans. About 72% of the Earth is made up of water! Looking at maps of the world can help put into perspective how much water there is on Earth.
Example Question #2 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Which image correctly identifies where there is water on Earth?
These four images are from the same portion of the world map. A map is a great place to look for landforms, bodies of water, and landmasses. When using a map, all bodies of water will be blue, and the land may be tan, green, or in this case, multiple colors to distinguish between the countries. You may also notice that the water is not labeled. Maybe times, there will be one label for an ocean or sea, but because it is so large, there may be portions that look unlabeled.
Example Question #3 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds.
True
False
True
The statement is a fact, so it is true. Water can be found in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and more locations. Almost three-quarters of our Earth is made of water, so you are likely to find it if you go looking.
Example Question #4 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Where is most of Earth's water?
In our bodies
In the sink
In the ground
In the oceans
In the oceans
Most of Earth's water is found in our oceans. About 72% of the Earth is made of water, and the oceans hold about 96% of that water! Earth has water in other places (streams, underground, glaciers, icebergs, ponds, etc.), but the majority can be found in the ocean.
Example Question #2 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Which part(s) of this world map identifies where water is on Earth?
The tan part of the map.
The brown part of the map.
The green part of the map.
The blue and white parts of the map.
The blue and white parts of the map.
When using a resource like a world map to identify where water is located on Earth, one must look for the blue and white portions of the map. Tan and green are the parts of Earth that are land. White represents clouds or at the top and bottom of the map, frozen water. The blue portions are bodies of water.
Example Question #3 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
This is a location where water is found on Earth. What is the name of this location?
Swamp
Groundwater
Ocean
Glacier
Swamp
This is a photo of a swamp. A swamp is a low-lying area that collects water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, glaciers, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.
Example Question #4 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Water is found in many places on Earth. This large chunk of ice is one form water may take. This photo is of a __________.
swamp
glacier
stream
pond
glacier
This is a photo of a glacier. A glacier is a slow-moving chunk of frozen water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.
Example Question #5 : Identify Where Water Is On Earth
Water is found in many places on Earth. This photo is of a(n) __________.
groundwater
river
ocean
glacier
river
This is a photo of a river. A river is a large stream of flowing water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, glaciers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.
