What is the purpose of modeling the water cycle like in this picture?

• to illustrate how water travels from Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again

• to illustrate how some water is lost on Earth as some of it never returns to Earth's surface once it evaporates

• to show how severe weather forms in the water cycle

• to show how Earth's water formed billions of years ago

What is the main source of energy that drives the water cycle?

• Heat from the interior of the Earth carried by convection currents

• Heat from the Sun

• Heat from hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor

• Atmospheric pressure

How are the oceans connected to all other bodies of water on Earth?

• All rivers eventually flow into the ocean

• Evaporated water from the ocean make other bodies of water salty

• All bodies of water are linked through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation

• Oceans are only connected to saltwater lakes

If there are 40 million cubic kilometers of freshwater on Earth, why is water conservation, or the saving of water, such an important issue?

• Over 99% of Earth's available water is undrinkable due to its salt content.

• The only freshwater that is usable by humans is contained inside living things.

• Less than 1% of Earth's freshwater is immediately available for use by humans.

• Freshwater is disappearing quickly due to the melting of ground ice and permafrost.
