This is a photo of a river. A river is a large stream of flowing water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, glaciers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.

Maps are a perfect way to show the shapes of the land that is in an area. By mapping the land, people can see the shape, size, and how the surrounding bodies of water are shaped as well. If the map is local and, detailed LeBron can use this as a plan to follow when making the model.

When you reuse something, you use something again.
Once you are done drinking a bottle of water, if you throw it away you aren't going to reuse it. But, if you refill the water bottle, that is an example of reusing the bottle.
Re-buying the same type of water or water bottle is not an example of reusing something. You are just buying the item again.

All of these listed answer choices are correct. Wind, water, and plants all change the shape of the land through weathering and erosion. When the land changes, it can cause problems for humans and the environment. Sometimes humans have to intervene and help fix what nature has created.

Why is water on Earth in both the solid and liquid state?
Why is water on Earth in both the solid and liquid state?
Tap to reveal answer
Water on Earth can be found in both the liquid and solid states depending on the temperature and conditions of the environment it is in. In a hot place like the desert, water will not be found in a solid form as ice; it would be a liquid. In somewhere that is below freezing, one would likely see frozen water known as ice. In conditions such as a thunderstorm, both liquid and solid ice can be found it there is rain and hail.

Tap to reveal answer
Water can be found in a liquid or solid state on Earth. The photo that represents a solid-state of matter is the ice and glaciers. These are large bodies of frozen water. The waterfall, ocean wave, and bottled water are all in a liquid form.

Water on Earth can be found in both liquid and solid states. Three of the photographs show water in the solid form - the mountain is covered in snow, which is solid, the ice cubes and icicles are frozen water. The only photo that demonstrates water in a liquid form is the drops on the window.

How could water be changed from its liquid form on Earth to a solid form?
How could water be changed from its liquid form on Earth to a solid form?
Tap to reveal answer
Water can be changed from a liquid to a solid by freezing it. Many times ponds and lakes become frozen over when temperatures drop, and the liquid water is turned to ice. In the wintertime in many places, instead of rain falling from the clouds, we see snow because the temperatures are freezing and the water freezes.

Earth has both liquid and solid water present. An example of how both of these forms can be found on Earth is that hail is solid, and rain is a liquid. They are both water but just in different forms. Students will learn about other forms of water and how they change in upper grade-levels.

How could water be changed from its solid form on Earth to a liquid form?
Tap to reveal answer
Water can be changed from a solid to a liquid by melting it. Many times ponds or lakes are frozen in the winter when the temperature is low, the water is solid, and has turned to ice. In the spring, the temperatures start to rise in many places, and the frozen water melts back into its liquid state. Other places in the world may still be cold, and water remains froze. This is how solid and liquid water can exist at the same time in different areas.

These four images are from the same portion of the world map. A map is a great place to look for landforms, bodies of water, and landmasses. When using a map, all bodies of water will be blue, and the land may be tan, green, or in this case, multiple colors to distinguish between the countries. You may also notice that the water is not labeled. Maybe times, there will be one label for an ocean or sea, but because it is so large, there may be portions that look unlabeled.
