PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE AND POINT A student at an exhibition looks at a model of Earth, as shown. The model is made using different colors to show water and land on the surface of Earth. The color green shows areas covered in land and blue shows areas covered in water. Each side of the model is shown.

The student learns that the water on Earth is stored in different forms. Water on Earth is broadly categorized into salt water and freshwater. The usability of water depends on the quantity available and its characteristics. The model shows the distribution of water on Earth in various reservoirs.

Question:The student claims there are large quantities of water immediately available for humans to drink on the surface of Earth. Is the claim given by the student correct? Use evidence from the graphs to describe why or why not.

the claim given by the student is false. the diagram shows that 3% of the total water on earth is fresh water. All the other water would have to be filtered and made safe to drink.

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
