Modelling: Hydrosphere Refer to textbook page nos.: 78
What is Hydrosphere?
The hydrosphere is the combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of the earth. It has
been estimated that there are 1386 million cubic kilometres of water on earth. This includes water in liquid
and frozen forms in groundwater, oceans, lakes and streams. Approximately 75% of Earth’s surface, an area of
some 361 million square kilometres, is covered by ocean.

atmospheric moisture including snow, rain and clouds, streams, oceans, rivers, lakes,
groundwater, subterranean aquifers, polar ice caps and saturated soil.

Modelling: Tides Refer to textbook page nos.: 79
Tides are the rise and
fall of sea levels caused
by the combined effects
of the gravitational
forces exerted by the
Moon and are also
caused by the Earth and
Moon orbiting one
another.
