  2. OBJECTIVES PS9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 YWBAT: • EXPLAIN THE DISTRIBUTION AND QUALITY OF EARTH’S WATER, • ILLUSTRATE THE THE WATER CYCLE AND IT EXPLAIN ITS RELEVANCE TO THE MOVEMENT OF SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE WATER AND TO WEATHER CONDITIONS, & • EXPLAIN THE CREATION OF A RIVER SYSTEM.

  3. Water Facts • Used by every living thing • Is renewable • Most of resource is in the oceans • Each person uses 400 liters/day ( see page 366) • Industry uses more then 10 billion liters/day • US farmlands use more than 375 billion liters/day for irrigation • Important food source • Easily polluted • Must be purified for safe use

  4. Water Facts (cont.) • An abundant substance • Covers 70 % of the earth’s surface • 97% of water found in oceans • 3% is fresh water - most locked up in ice
