A. The Water We Drink (Make sure you have this copied). 1. Earth’s ocean covers more than 140 million square miles. 2. The Earth’s oceans contain about 97% of all the water on Earth. 3. 99% of the total water supply is unsafe to drink. 4. Earth’s water cycle continuously replaces the supply of fresh water. 5. Most of the water humans use every day, about 80% of it, comes from surface water in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Streams • Streams are bodies of water that flow over land • Streams start in the high grounds such as hills and mountains. • Streams are often formed by melted snowfields and glaciers, or overflowing lakes. • Streams empty into larger water bodies through parts called mouths.
Rivers • Rivers are mostly formed by wide streams or many streams joining together called tributaries. • Rivers are found on every continent of Earth except Antarctica. • The largest river is the Nile in Africa. It is 4,160 miles long. • The Amazon is the largest river system. • Rivers carry away water from land. • Many of the world’s first settlements and civilizations developed along rivers. • Rivers are a valuable source of energy. • Rivers are important for trade and transportation.
Lakes • The word “lake” means “hole” • Lakes are created when water fills a hole or opening in Earth’s surface. • Lakes exist on every continent except Antarctica. • The greatest number of lakes are found in North America and northern Europe. • Lake Baikal is the largest lake in the world • North America has the most lakes in the world. The Great Lakes are the largest. • Lakes can be made by humans who build dams to control rivers. They are called reservoirs.
Ocean • Oceans cover much of the planet. (75%) • The largest is the Pacific, then the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic. • The Pacific is also the deepest. • Oceans have mountain ranges, plains, basins, and valleys. • Iceland is formed from a mountain in the Atlantic. • Ocean currents are caused by winds. They move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. • Ocean currents carry hot and warm water. • The pull of the sun and the moon cause tides. • Smaller bodies of water connected to oceans are called gulfs, bays, and seas.
