Changes in the states of water.

Condensation is the change from the gaseous state to the liquid state.



Evaporation is the change from the liquid state to the gaseous state.


Freezing is the change from the liquid state to the solid state.









Melting is the chage from the solid state to the liquid state.

Sublimation is the change from the solid state to the gaseous state.



Deposition is the change from the gaseous state to the solid state.

Changing state game!!

EVAPORATION: liquid to gas. 100ºC

CONDENSATION: gas to liquid.

SOLIDIFICATION: liquid to solid. 0ºC

FUSION: solid to liquid.





States of water.

We can find water in three different states:

-Liquid water: rainfall; water in rivers, lakes and oceans.














- Solid water: Ice and snow are examples of solid water.










-Gaseous water: water vapour, fog and steam are water in the gaseous state.

Groundwater.

Groundwater is water located under the ground.

The grounwater is collected in aquifers.

A spring is the place where the groundwater meets the Earth´s surface.
It is a well if it is aritificial (made by human beings).





Surface Water.

Surface water is water collected on the ground
(Different forms of surface water are streams,rivers, lakes, glaciers and oceans).


Lakes are large bodies of water surrounded by w
ater.










Streams are very small rivers:


A river is a big stream of water that flows towards a lake or ocean.


Glaciers are areas of moving ice.


Oceans are huge areas of salt water.


The five oceans are: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, The Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean.


The three states of matter.

There are three states of matter:

- Solid


-Liquid


- Gas


Solids: They have a definite shape and a definite volume.
Liquids: They have a definte volume but the don't ha a definite shape.

Gas: They don't have a definite shape or volume. They take the shape of their container.
