7. Key Questions What are the percentages of water on Earth? What is the most important function of the ocean? How does the salinity of the ocean stay balanced when gallons of freshwater is poured into the ocean each day? How does ocean water differ from fresh water? Where is greatest amount of Earth’s fresh water? Which processes are responsible for the distribution of freshwater to inland locations on the continents? Where do most modern cities obtain their drinking water from?

8. 1. Salt water is 97% of water on Earth. • Fresh water is 3 %. (2 % is ice and 1 % is liquid). • The most important function of the ocean is giving off water vapor into the atmosphere. 3. The salinity stays balanced water is continuously evaporated back out of the ocean into the atmosphere.

9. 4.Ocean water is different that fresh water because ocean water has a higher concentration of sodium chloride. • 5. The greatest amount of Earth’s freshwater is located in glaciers and polar ice caps. • 6. Moving air masses are responsible for the movement of freshwater to inland locations. • 7. Most modern citiies obtain their drinking water from surface resevoirs.
