Exploring Earth's Hydrosphere: Key Concepts of the Water Cycle and Ocean Dynamics

Dive into the fascinating world of Earth's hydrosphere, exploring essential vocabulary related to the water cycle, including processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Understand the distinctions between freshwater and saltwater, and learn about various water bodies such as aquifers, watersheds, and continental margins. Delve into ocean dynamics through terms like ocean currents, upwelling, and phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of hydrological processes and oceanic structures vital to our planet.
