Question

where is our water? for questions 1–6, complete each statement by writing the correct word or words. 1 fresh water is a renewable _resource _. 2 another name for the water cycle is the _hydrologic cycle. 3 about 97.5% of earths water is salt water _. 4 _ice _ is water that is relatively pure, with few dissolved salts. 5 more than three quarters of the fresh water on earth is _unevenly_, the rest is liquid. 6 fresh water is distributed _ in both time and space. 7 explain why liquid fresh water is considered a limited resource. surface water for questions 9 and 10, circle the letter of the correct answer. 9 water that flows over land and has not been absorbed into the ground is called

Explanation:

1. Fresh water can be replenished over time, so it's a renewable resource.
2. The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle in scientific terms.
3. Earth's water composition is well - studied, with a large majority being salt water.
4. Ice formed from precipitation or condensation is relatively pure water.
5. Most fresh water on Earth is in the form of ice (frozen), making it unevenly distributed between frozen and liquid states.
6. Fresh water availability varies by season and location, hence it's unevenly distributed in time and space.
7. Liquid fresh water is limited because most fresh water is locked in ice, and the available liquid fresh water must serve a large global population for various uses like drinking, agriculture, and industry.
8. Water flowing over land without being absorbed is surface water.

Answer:

1. resource
2. hydrologic
3. salt water
4. ice
5. frozen
6. unevenly
7. Most fresh water is in ice form and demand is high for various uses.
8. Surface water (assuming this was the correct answer option not fully shown in the provided text)
