unit 4: hydrosphere 11 days
Water is one of our most natural resources as 97% of our Earth is made up of water! Without it, there would be no life on Earth! Hydrology is the science that encompasses the occurrence, distribution, movement, and properties of the waters of the earth and their relationship with the environment within each phase of the water cycle. Our waters are vast and complex! |
