Prereading

climate
Our earth is made up of different geological features. These features sometimes determine the climate, and thus the lifestyle and agriculture of an area due to the typical weather. To begin, we will discuss features that are created with salt water. There are two main types; standing water and running water. Both types are incredibly important for life on earth.

Geological Features

tidal
The largest body of standing water is an ocean. The ocean is made up of saltwater and is found on 71 percent of the earth’s surface. The ocean has a tidal rhythm that is controlled by the moon. At times oceans can have enormous, powerful waves and other times, the water rolls gently onto and off of the shore. An ocean is similar to a sea, but a sea is smaller and is often found where an ocean meets land.
connects
In areas where salt water and land meet, there are many other geographical features. A bay occurs when the water is contained by the land on 3 sides and creates a semi-circle of water. This water is often calm and a great place to go swimming. You can find a strai where water has to pass between two pieces of land and connects the bodies of water on either side.
harbour
A gulf is a deep inlet of the sea, meaning that the water is surrounded by land, with a very narrow mouth to connect it to the larger sea. Gulfs are generally bigger than bays and have a much smaller opening. Gulfs are often used for shipping and may contain harbours for trade boats to dock. Global shipping has caused an increase in our need for harbors around the world.
There are also numerous bodies of water that are made of fresh water. These bodies are usually located on land and can also have numerous sizes and names. A lake is the biggest body of freshwater. Simply put, a lake is water that is surrounded by land. People often create lakes in their cities because people enjoy being able to boat, fish and swim in the water. Natural lakes were formed by glaciers that moved across the land and dug out large pits that later filled with water.
dams
Reservoirs are similar to lakes, but are formed when dams are used to stop the flow of water from a river. This water is then cleaned and used for a city’s water supply. The use of reservoirs has increased in the past years, because there have been many droughts, which cause water shortages. This means that people must find a way to store water and ensure there is still water when it is dry. Reservoirs often have mechanical dams which can control the level of water to be saved or used.
