Chapter 1 Lesson 2
Essential Question
What are some different bodies of water and how are they formed?
Chapter 1 Lesson 2- Vocabulary1) Tributary- A smaller river that feeds into a
larger river.
2) River System- A network of a river and its tributaries.
3) Drainage basin- The land that is drained by a river system.
Chapter 1 Lesson 2- Vocabulary4) Rift- A long deep valley with mountains or
plateaus on either side.
5) Reservoir- a human-made lake
Do Now
On the back of your water cycle diagram, tell me the similarities and differences between evaporation and transpiration.
A. The Water We Drink (Make sure you have this copied). 1. Earth’s ocean covers more than 140 million square
miles.
2. The Earth’s oceans contain about 97% of all the water on Earth.
3. 99% of the total water supply is unsafe to drink.
4. Earth’s water cycle continuously replaces the supply of fresh water.
5. Most of the water humans use every day, about 80% of it, comes from surface water in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Streams Streams are bodies of water that flow over
land Streams start in the high grounds such as
hills and mountains. Streams are often formed by melted
snowfields and glaciers, or overflowing lakes. Streams empty into larger water bodies
through parts called mouths.
Rivers Rivers are mostly formed by wide streams or many
streams joining together called tributaries. Rivers are found on every continent of Earth except
Antarctica. The largest river is the Nile in Africa. It is 4,160 miles
long. The Amazon is the largest river system. Rivers carry away water from land. Many of the world’s first settlements and civilizations
developed along rivers. Rivers are a valuable source of energy. Rivers are important for trade and transportation.
Lakes The word “lake” means “hole” Lakes are created when water fills a hole or opening
in Earth’s surface. Lakes exist on every continent except Antarctica. The greatest number of lakes are found in North
America and northern Europe. Lake Baikal is the largest lake in the world North America has the most lakes in the world. The
Great Lakes are the largest. Lakes can be made by humans who build dams to
control rivers. They are called reservoirs.
Ocean Oceans cover much of the planet. (75%) The largest is the Pacific, then the Atlantic, Indian
and Arctic. The Pacific is also the deepest. Oceans have mountain ranges, plains, basins, and
valleys. Iceland is formed from a mountain in the Atlantic. Ocean currents are caused by winds. They move
clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Ocean currents carry hot and warm water. The pull of the sun and the moon cause tides. Smaller bodies of water connected to oceans are
called gulfs, bays, and seas.
