1. What are the different sources of surface water? 2. Why is sea water salty? 3. Where do rivers and lakes get water from? 4. How do we get well water?
Answers
Answer:
1. Surface water is any body of water above ground, including streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, and creeks. The ocean, despite being saltwater, is also considered surface water.
2.Ocean salt primarily comes from rocks on land and openings in the seafloor. ... Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks. This releases ions that are carried away to streams and rivers that eventually feed into the ocean.
3.Rivers receive water from rain and melting snow, from underground springs and aquifers, and from lakes.
4.A well is a source that yields water because of the aquifer it taps. (An aquifer is an underground rock formation that is a source of groundwater).
