Is a pond a groundwater?
No, a pond is not classified as groundwater. Groundwater refers to water that is stored beneath the earth's surface in soil and rock formations, while a pond is a surface water body that collects and holds water. Ponds are typically fed by precipitation, runoff, and sometimes groundwater, but they exist above the ground rather than underground.
Describe each of Earth's four spheres. List several examples of features in each sphere.?
-Atmosphere, acts as a blanket, moderates surface temp -Lithosphere, rocky, outer shell of Earth, consists of rocks and minerals -Hydrosphere, Includes oceans, lakes, ice, groundwater, etc, consists of all the water on, above and below Earth's surface -Biosphere, areas where life can exist, very thin
What is the main impact of ozone on the life on Earth's surface?
It allows DNA-based life to exist. See the "Related questions" section below.
What might happen on earth surface if magma rises in a convection current?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface as magma and hence cools on the earth surface to form rocks.
Would winds exist if Earth's surface was uniform temperature?
No
Why metamorphic rock rarely forms at earth surface?
Metamorphic rock forms deep below the Earth's surface where high pressure and temperature conditions exist. These conditions are not typically found at the Earth's surface where weathering, erosion, and lower temperatures prevail. As a result, metamorphic rock is rarely formed at the Earth's surface.
Could humans survive unaided on jupiter in regards to the presence of water there?
No. Jupiter has no solid surface on which bodies of water might exist, though clouds of liquid water may exist below the visible cloud surface. In addition to lacking a solid surface, Jupiter has an unbreathable atmosphere and the gravity is more than twice as strong as it is on Earth.
Do diamonds come from the rainforest?
Diamonds are erupted to the Earth's surface from deep within the Earth's mantle through volcanic pipes. A volcanic pipe may exist in a rainforest: not all volcanic pipes that erupt diamonds to the Earth's surface exist in rainforests.
Why volcanic eruptions exist?
The earth's plates shift and magma is forced up through the earth's surface.
What is the reason life can exist on Jupiter?
Because the temperature on the surface is simmilar to Earth's.
Why do surface currents and deep currents exist?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What is the difference between ground water and freshwater?
Groundwater refers to water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface in porous rock formations, whereas freshwater refers to water that contains low levels of salts and is suitable for human consumption. Groundwater can be either freshwater or saline depending on its location and the surrounding geology.
