Answer 2

the process of changing from gas to liquid

Question 3

Evaporation

Answer 3

-the transformation from liquid to gas as it moves from ground/water into the atmosphere

Question 4

Question 6

6. How can seas be classified based on their position, and what are examples of each type?

Answer 6

• Nearly closed -Mediterrian Sea,Baltic Sea
• Partly enclosed–The North Sea,Sea of Okhostle)
• Archipelago seas-South China Sea,Sulu sea
• Hypersaline lakes-the Dead sea , the Caspian Sea

Question 7

o Temperature

Answer 7

-depends on the depth(the lower areas the lower temp.)
-also can be influenced by location-the highest temp. Indian Ocean

Question 8

o Salinity

Answer 8

-also depends on location/environment(lower around equator-heavy rainfalls ,higher around hot ,dry climate)

Question 9

o Colour of water

Answer 9

-depends on many factors(temperature of the water ,the distance from the land ,the environment ,material concentrated in the water)

Question 10

21. Differentiate between drained zones and endorheic zones, providing examples of each.

Answer 10

 Drained-can be drained-lake with outflows- The Mississippi River Basin, The Amazon River Basin
 Endorheic- water does not flow from the drainage basin- The Dead Sea Basin, The Caspian Sea basin

Question 11

hydrological regimes of rivers

Answer 11

 Equatorial-the same amount of water the whole year
 Seasonal-large discharge in summer ,minimal in winter
 Oceanic-influenced by ocean(Thames)
 Rainy-maximum discharge in the end of winter
 Mountain-maximum discharge in April/May
 Snowy lowland rivers of E.Europe

o Dams: structure built across a stream,water supply
o Ponds:great for fishing,recreation

Question 17

Define glaciers and their significance as a source of freshwater.

Answer 17

 Glacier-large mass of ice often shaped like a river that flows very slowly because of gravity
 Most important source of fresh water

Answer 18

• Mountain glaciers-located above the snow line-Himalayas ,Alps,Rocky Mts.
• Continental
  -more than Mountain g.,Antarctica,Greenland

Question 19

30. What are hot springs

Answer 19

 Hot springs-hydrothermal or geothermal spring produced by the emergency of geothermally heated ground water onto the surface of the Earth
