Ok-Here's are the facts! - 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water - 97% of that water is found in the earth's oceans - That means 3% of the rest of the water is freshwater, we can drink - About 2% (3/4) of that water is frozen in glaciers - So that leaves about 1% of freshwater Terms to Know: **1. The Water Cycle : **(also known as the Hydrologic Cycle) ***a continuous movement of water inside, on, and above the surface of the Earth ** ***there is not beginning or end - its a cycle ** ***water changes states between liquid, gas, and even solid forms ** ***liquid water turns to gas, travels into the air and becomes part of a cloud, ** **falls down to earth as a liquid or solid, and then returns as a gas again ** **2.** __**State Changes between Solids and Liquids**__ : <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">**A.
