Presentation Transcript

  1. Developed by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Water in the Geosphere

  2. ENGAGE • As a group, record your ideas on the capture sheet • What do you observe? • What do you know? • What do you want to know?

  3. The Geosphere Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape Earth’s surface

  4. How much water is in the geosphere? Which components of the water cycle involve the geosphere?

  5. The Geosphere in the Water Cycle “The Water Cycle: animation from NASA/GSFC SVS # 10501

  6. How much water is the geosphere? • Qualitative: • Soil Consistence • Soil Color • Quantitative: • Soil Moisture • Soil Temperature As you explore, think about: How does water get to the soil? Where does the water go?

  7. Data Collection Explain: Based on the data you collected, water is _____ (not present, somewhat present, highly present) in the geosphere today. Provide evidence to support your answer.

  8. Evaluate Label the parts of the water cycle that involve the geosphere and describe how the geosphere is an important part of the water cycle. Hints: soil, soak, store, seep, runoff, filter, plants, animals

  9. GPM The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite will collect precipitation data from around the world. Knowing where and how much rain or snow falls globally is vital to understanding how weather and climate impact both our environment and Earth’s water and energy cycles. Precipitation patterns have effects on agriculture, fresh water availability, and responses to natural disasters.
