What is the Source of earths water under the surface?
To the best of my knowledge, the water under the surface was formed when the oceans were formed, or thereafter. In simple terms, cracks in the ground allows water to leak below ground into large open voids.
How big is earth in realation to other planets?
In terms of Radius and diameter; Mercury's radius and diameter (at the equator) = 0.3825 x that of Earths (or 38.25%) Venus's radius and diameter = 0.9488 x Earths (nearly 95%) (Earth's radius = 6378km, diameter = 12756km) Mars = 0.5323 x Earths (53.2%) Jupiter = 11.21 x Earths Saturn = 9.45 x Earths Uranus = 4.01 x Earths Neptune = 3.88 x Earths In terms of Volume; Mercury's volume = 0.056 x Earths (or 5.6% of Earths) Venus' volume = 0.857 x Earths (85.7%) (Earths volume = 1.08 x 1012 cubic km (km3)) Mars' volume = 0.151 x Earths (15.1%) Jupiter's volume = 1321.3 x Earths Saturn's volume = 763.59 x Earths Uranus' volume = 63.086 x Earths Neptune's volume = 57.74 x Earths
What are regional terms?

What is the largest country in the world in terms of surface?
Russia
How much gravity does the earth have please can you write it in terms a child can understand?
Its hard to explain it, but the equatorial surface gravity is 9.780327 m/s2 or 0.99732 gThe Earths gravity is around 380 ppm (pounds per mile).Sorry if this is too confusing!
Which of the following terms is used when describing the elevations of earth's surface?
It depends on what the terms are.
What is absoluute location?
A point on the Earths surface in terms of coordinates; typically in that of longitude and latitude.
What are surface dwelling plants and animals called?

Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.

Describing the terms of the movement and the energies of the water particles what happens to evaporation?
Evaporation explanation is that the kinetic energy of molecules at the surface allows some molecules to escape in the atmosphere.
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
