Hydrosphere and Cryosphere Relationship
Explore the vital connection between the hydrosphere and cryosphere, highlighting the distribution of freshwater and saltwater, the role of minerals, the necessity of freshwater for animals and plants, and the significance of groundwater. Learn about the frozen portion of Earth's water known as the cryosphere and the various sources and storage of water on our planet.

Hydrosphere & Cryosphere HYDROSPHERE the system containing all Earth s water CRYOSPHERE the frozen portion of water on Earth s surface
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere Sources of Fresh Water Sources of Salt Water 3% of the Earth s water is Fresh Water Total Water On Earth 97% of the Earth s water is Salt Water Includes: Lakes Rivers Ocean s are Earth s Reservoir of Water Swamps, Bogs, and Marshes Groundwater Ice Caps
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere Minerals dissolve in water. Minerals dissolve in rivers and groundwater. The dissolved minerals makes the ocean water salty.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere Animals and Plants cannot use salt water to survive.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere 1% of Earth s fresh water is easily accessible from the surface of the Earth.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere Water is stored in what we call reservoirs. These reservoirs are charged by the accumulation of various forms of precipitation.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere Ice, lakes, and rivers make up 80% of Earth s fresh water. Ground water makes up the remaining 20% of Earth s fresh water.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere GROUNDWATER is water that is stored in cracks and pored beneath the Earth s surface.
Hydrosphere & Cryosphere 79% of Earth s freshwater is frozen. The frozen portion of Earth s water is called the CRYOSPHERE
