Identify where water is on Earth - 2nd Grade Science

Water is everywhere on Earth. It can be found underground, in glaciers, icebergs, lakes, streams, ponds, rivers, and oceans. About 72% of the Earth is made up of water! Looking at maps of the world can help put into perspective how much water there is on Earth.

This is a photo of a pond. A pond is a naturally formed small body of still water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, glaciers, lakes, rivers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.

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.

The statement is a fact, so it is true. Water can be found in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and more locations. Almost three-quarters of our Earth is made of water, so you are likely to find it if you go looking.

Most of Earth's water is found in our oceans. About 72% of the Earth is made of water, and the oceans hold about 96% of that water! Earth has water in other places (streams, underground, glaciers, icebergs, ponds, etc.), but the majority can be found in the ocean.

When using a resource like a world map to identify where water is located on Earth, one must look for the blue and white portions of the map. Tan and green are the parts of Earth that are land. White represents clouds or at the top and bottom of the map, frozen water. The blue portions are bodies of water.

This is a photo of a swamp. A swamp is a low-lying area that collects water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, glaciers, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.

This is a photo of a glacier. A glacier is a slow-moving chunk of frozen water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.

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.

This is a photo of an ocean. An ocean is a large expansive collection of saltwater. Water can be found everywhere on Earth, though! Water can be found underground, in glaciers, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, swamps, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth. A majority of Earth's water (97%) is located in oceans.
