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 water.

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.

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.

Severe weather

Severe weather is dangerous. Be sure you don't travel under severe weather risk.

 

• Thunderstorm: an electric storm. The thunder is the sound and the lightening is a bright flash of electricity.

 

 

 

 

 

• Snowstorms: storms with lots of snow.

 

• Flood: It happens after very heavy rain, snow melting or when rivers rise.

 

 

 

• Drought: It occurs when it doesn't rain or rains a little bit for a long time.

The elements of weather

Temperature: we measure temperature with a thermometer.

Wind is air in motion. We measure wind with an anemometer.

 

Humidity is the amount of water in the air. We measure humidity with a hygrometer.

Rain is a type of weather precipitation. We measure the rain with a rain gauge.
