Answer Keys

2. Lesson 1 Water on Earth Review and Reinforce Worksheet
1. Living things use water to perform body processes needed for survival and as a habitat.
2. Salt water: 97%; Fresh water: 3%; salt water is found in oceans and salt lakes; fresh water is found in ice sheets and icebergs, in lakes and rivers, as groundwater, and as water vapor in the atmosphere.
3. precipitation
4. condensation
5. evaporation
6. Water that soaks into the ground from precipitation and fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
7. The continuous process by which water moves from Earth surface to the atmosphere and back, driven by gravity and energy from the sun.
8. The process by which plants give off water in the form of water vapor through their leaves.

6. Lesson 3 Water Underground Review and Reinforce Worksheet
1. It trickles down between particles of soil and through cracks and spaces in layers of rock.
2. They can drill a well below the water table.
3. It depends largely on the slope of the water table and the permeability of the rocks.
4. In aquifers where groundwater becomes trapped between two layers of impermeable rock or sediment, the water is under great pressure. When the top layer of rock is punctured, the water pressure sends water spurting up through the hole.
5. Materials such as sand and gravel allow water to pass through, or permeate
6. Materials through which water cannot pass easily
7. The top layers of rock and soil that contain air as well as water
An underground level where the pores in the ground are saturated with water
The top of the saturated zone.
10. a well in which water rises on its own because of pressure within an aquifer.

5. Layers 1, 2, and 3
4. A
6. Layers 4 and 5
7. Students drawings should include the most water drawn in the layer of gravel. They can include some water in the soil or sand but there
should be none in the layers of clay and rock.
8. Label for the saturated zone should be placed near the bottom of the diagram.
9. Label for the water table should be placed on the layer of gravel.
10. Label for the unsaturated zone should be placed near the top of the diagram.

8. Lesson 4 Wetland Environments Review and Reinforce Worksheet
1. They form in places where water is trapped in lower areas or where groundwater seeps to the surface.
2. They are covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year.
3. They provide temporary homes for migrating birds that rest and feed in these habitats along the way or that spend the winter in them.
4. Dead leaves and other plant and animal materials serve as natural fertilizers, adding nutrients to the water and soil.
5. marshes, swamps, bogs
6. Accept two of the following: They act as natural water filters. They help control floods by absorbing extra runoff from heavy rains. They make climates more moderate.
7. an area that is covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year
