|
The repeated movement of water through the environment is the _____. |
Water cycle |
|
|
Describe the ocean and explain how the water cycle effects the salinity of the ocean. |
The more evaporation, the more salt. The less evaporation, the less salt. |

|
Explain how clouds usually form rain over the United States. |
Water vapor grabs on to dust and salt to form crystals that soon fall and melt to make it rain. |

|
Know how clouds form and the four different types. |
Clouds form when water vapor condenses to form a tiny water droplets. The four types of clouds are Cirrus clouds, thunderheads, altocumulus clouds, stratus clouds, and fog. |
|
|
No the characteristics of the ocean and freshwater. |
Almost all hydrosphere is ocean. Oceans get salty from rivers Glaciers or ice |
|
|
No the water cycle and where it gets energy. |
Water evaporates, then condenses, then precipitates. The water cycle gets its energy from the sun. |
