    Photosynthesis reduced the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as oxygen was continually being released. For roughly a billion years, oxygen released by cyanobacteria did not build up in the atmosphere. It was used up by two sources: oceans and rocks. Oxygen dissolved in the oceans and oxidized (rusted) the exposed iron and other minerals, as seen in banded rock formations around the world. Approximately two billion years ago, the reservoirs of oxidizable rock became saturated and thus allowing the buildup of free oxygen in the air.…

    Why Sea Water Is Salty

    • 480 Words
    • 2 Pages

    During the water cycle, water is evaporated from bodies of water by the heat of the sun. The evaporated water rises through the atmosphere as a gas, or vapor. As the vapors rise they cool and turn back into tiny droplets of water which attach to each other forming clouds by the process of condensation. During precipitation, the water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, snow or sleet. Some of the water seeps into the earth to underground reservoirs, or aquifers (UOD, 2004). The rest of the water is runoff, and it flows back to the rivers, lakes, and oceans where it began. Along the way this water picks up minerals from rock and soil and deposits them in these bodies of water. The constant movement of rivers and lakes prevents the buildup of “salt”, but in oceans and other bodies of water without an outlet, the minerals remain in the water because they do not evaporate.…

    71% of the Earth's surface is water. Of this, 97% is in the oceans and only the remaining 3% is available in rivers, lakes and reservoirs as fresh water. There are three sources of water: rain water, ground water and surface water. Today, all these three resources have been almost depleted. The earth is a closed system and neither gains nor loses much water. This means that the same amount of water that existed on earth a million years ago is still here. Water continuously changes from one state to another and moves from place to place forming the hydrological cycle. The water cycle is the process by which water circulates from the land or the oceans to the atmosphere and back again. What is affected is the availability of usable water where and when needed.…
