Sand, soil and rock cover the ground.
Plants grow in the ground and some animals live underground.

THE WATER CYCLE

1.- The Sun heats the water in the sea. The water evaporates and forms clouds.
2.- The wind moves the clouds. The clouds cool and then it rains or snows.
3.- The water falls into lakes and rivers.
4.- The water from the lakes and rivers goes to the sea. The cycle starts again.

THE THREE FORMS OF WATER

Water has no colour, it does not smell and it does not taste of anything.
Liquid water can change form. We can cool water and make ice; ice is solid water.
When we heat water and it produces water vapour; vapour is water in the form of gas.

WATER II

The water in the sea and oceans contains a lot of salt: it is called saltwater.
The water in rivers and most lakes does not contain much salt: it is called freshwater.
Not all water is drinking water. Be careful! Some water can be bad for your health.

WATER

Most of the Earth is covered in water.
The water in oceans, the sea, rivers and lakes is surface water.
The water underground in rocks and caves is groundwater.
