We continue our quest for geographical knowledge…

Water conservation is crucial for sustaining our ecosystems and ensuring a stable supply of this vital resource. Conserving water helps to protect habitats, maintain the water table, and prevent issues such as drought and flooding. The hydrologic cycle illustrates how water moves through our environment, and human activities can disrupt this delicate balance. Exploring current water table levels offers insight into our local conditions and highlights the importance of mindful water use. By discussing and raising awareness about water conservation, we can all play a role in protecting our planet.

Presentation Transcript

  1. We continue our quest for geographical knowledge… So Much to do…..

  2. Do Now- Write 5 Lines Should we conserve water, why or why not?

  3. Information • Grades Updated - missing assignments - marking period is going quickly • MIRPL Assignment - need article approval Is your ID on?

  4. Current Events: World • Weapons inspectors in Syria - destroying chemical weapons • Monster Truck Crash in Mexico - 8 killed, dozens injured

  5. Do Now- Write 5 Lines Should we conserve water, why or why not?

  6. Motion in the Ocean… • How does the Ocean control temperature on the planet? Ocean Movement: • Currents • Waves • Tides

  7. Hydrologic Cycle pg. 32-33 • Review the Hydrologic Cycle on page 33. - answer the “Skillbuilder Questions” be sure to provide an explanation for your answer

  8. T-P-S Affecting the Hydrologic Cycle Ways in which the hydrologic cycle is affected • Water must move into the soil, think about things that may break this part of the cycle: • changes in the ability of soil to soak up water through increases of impervious surfaces, like roads and buildings, and removal of forest cover; • water withdrawals or impoundments (such as through wells or dams) • filling depressional wetlands; • and altering stream flows and beds.

  9. Ground Water • Ground Water - water trapped, held, in the pores of rocks - the amount of water changes in the pores - the top edge of this water is called the water table • Water Table - low levels = Drought - high levels = oversaturation (leads to flooding) What are the current water table levels in our area? Why?

  10. Water Table/Ground Water/Aquifers

  11. Aquifer Example

  12. Salt Water Lakes • Started as fresh water - outlet to the sea was blocked - man made barriers (Human Environment Interaction) - naturally formed barriers (movement) • What feature houses most of the world’s freshwater?

  13. TOTD: Summary Summarize the day’s lesson to your neighbor. Discuss things that were interesting, you wish to know more about, and/or the hydrologic cycle.
