what does it mean that the
global water system
is a closed system?
no water is gained or lost
water moves between
reservoirs
but the total
mass
is the same
water stores
and their residents time
oceans
-> 3,600
years
ice caps
-> 15,000 years
ground water
-> 10,000 years
river and lakes
-> 2 weeks to 10 years
soil moisture
-> 2 to 50 weeks
atmospheric moisture
-> 10 days
what is waters three
states
?
solid (
ice
), liquid (water), and gas (
water vapor
)
water is liquid
98%
of the time, mainly in
oceans
how can we tell the planet had an
ice age
?
wave cut platforms
and
flooded rivers
(ports)
sea level
was
140 meters
lower
what does
blue water
mean?
water stores in
lakes
, rivers, streams, and
ground water
(visible)
what does
green water
mean?
water stores in the
soil
and
vegetation
(invisible)
what does
advection
mean?
transfer
of heat by flow of
fluid
