WATER ON EARTH• Most of Earth's water—roughly 97 percent

—is salt water that is found in the oceans. • Only 3 percent is fresh water. • Of that 3 percent, about three quarters is

found in the huge masses of ice near the North and South Poles.

• A fraction more is found in the atmosphere.

• Most water in the atmosphere is invisible water vapor, the gaseous form of water.

• Less than 1 percent of the water on Earth is fresh water that is available for humans to use.

WHY IS THE SEA SALTY?

The weathering and erosion of rocks in rivers carries sediment to the ocean.

What is the most abundant elements in seawater?

The substance you know as table salt—sodium chloride—is the salt present in the greatest amount in ocean water. NaCl

WHY DOES THE SALINITY OF THE OCEAN STAY CONSTANT?

As freshwater comes in through rivers, freshwater evaporates and freezes in glaciers.

Does temperature increase or decrease as you descend through the water column?

Temperature decreases as you descend through the water column and pressure increases.

CONTINENTAL SHELFA gently sloping, shallow area of the ocean floor that extends outward from the edge of a continent.

CONTINENTAL SLOPEThe true edge of a continent, where rock that makes up the continent stops and the rock of the ocean floor begins.

CURRENTSWhat force cause surface currents?

Surface currents, which affect water to a depth of several hundred meters, are driven mainly by winds.

TIDESThe daily rise and fall of Earth's waters on shores.

Page 30: WATER UNIT. WATER ON EARTH Most of Earth's water—roughly 97 percent—is salt water that is found in the oceans. Only 3 percent is fresh water. Of that.

What causes tides?Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun.

SPRING TIDEA tide with the greatest

difference between high and low tide that occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned in a line with Earth.
