What are these series of storage areas of water (oceans,glaciers,underground water,saline/fresh water lakes,soil water) in the hydrosphere used for
For water movement
70% of earth is covered in
Water
97.2 of water is located in
The ocean
2% water in
Glaciers
.04% water in
Underground water &
Soil water
.1% water in
Fresh and saline water lakes
This temp of water has more chemical composition
Colder oceans
This temp of water is clearer, dissolves its minerals.
Warm water
This temp of water tends to have more organisms.
Warm water
Density varies with
salinity
Temperature &
Depth
If salinity is high density is
High
If temperature is high density is
Low
If depth is deep density is
High
Because of low temperature and pressure of water if depth is low then density is
Density is low
