PPT-Surface water

One watershed is separated from another by a ridge of land called a dividebrStreams on each side of the divide flow in different directionsbrThe Great Divide is the longest divide in North America It follows the line of the Rocky MountainsbrWest of the divide water flows toward the Pacific OceanbrSome water is trapped between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas in the Great BasinbrBetween the Rocky and Appalachian mountains water flows toward the Mississippi River and into the Gulf of Mexico. .

Water is the key to our survival on Earth, it is our source of life. Water is everywhere! It makes up about 70% percent of the Earth’s surface. Of that water, about 97% is ocean, and only 3% is fresh water. Hillside . springs often flow from a perched water table.. Hot springs and geysers. In hot springs the ground . water . is heated through:. 1. The geothermal gradient of the Earth increases by about 30⁰C per kilometer in the upper portion of the crust. . Key points (what your kiddos REALLY need to understand!). We . cannot. consider surface water without thinking about groundwater. Groundwater and surface water do not flow the same way. Interactions between groundwater and surface water may “shift” as a result of other factors. ?. Rebekka. . Posselt. , Aku Riihelä. With support from: . Richard Müller, Jörg Trentmann. Outline.
