Water is a vital renewable natural resource. Three fourth of the
earth’s surface is covered with water. The earth is, therefore,
appropriately called the ‘water planet’. It was in the primitive oceans
that life began almost 3.5 billion years ago. The ocean water is
however saline is not fit for human consumption. Fresh water is the
most precious substance on earth. Its abundance only seems to vary
because it is in constant motion, a cycling through the oceans, the air,
the land and back again, through the process of evaporation,
precipitation and run-off this as already know, is referred to as the
‘water cycle’.

The sun’s heat causes evaporation of water vapour. When the water
vapour cools down, it condenses and forms clouds. From there it may
fall on the land or sea in the form of rain, snow or sleet. The process by
which water continually changes its form and circulates between oceans,
atmosphere and land is known as the water cycle. Our earth is like a
terrarium. The same water that existed centuries ago still exists today.
The water used to irrigate a field in Haryana may have flowed down the
Amazon River a hundred years ago. The major sources of fresh water are
the rivers, ponds, springs and glaciers. The ocean bodies and the seas
contain salty water. The water of the oceans is salty or saline as it
contains large amount of dissolved salts.Next Page

• Tides The rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water twice
in a day is called a tide. It is high tide when water
covers much of the shore by rising to its highest level.
It is low tide when water falls to its lowest level and
recedes from the shore.
• OCEAN CURRENTS Ocean currents are streams of
water flowing constantly on the ocean surface in
definite directions. The ocean currents may be warm
or cold.
