Water on Earth
• 97% salty, 2% frozen fresh, 1% usable• Desalination-process used to remove salt from
fresh water• Amount of water never changes• Hydrologic Cycle-Water Cycle...Pg. 70
What are the forces that drive the hydrologic cycle and how does each force drive the cycle?

• Lowering of table could lead to settling, slumping or cracking.
