  1. A map label points to glacier ice. What kind of water store is this?

    • a magnetic material
    • a food-web producer
    • frozen fresh water
    • all Earth's water

  2. Which statement describes glacier ice on an Earth system map?

    • a small part of Earth's fresh water
    • water vapor and clouds
    • much of Earth's fresh water
    • most of Earth's water

  3. Which map evidence supports identifying atmosphere?

    • large ocean areas cover much of the map
    • aquifer labels appear beneath plains
    • cloud bands move over land and ocean
    • blue shapes appear inside land areas

  4. Why is water from glacier ice limited for human use?

    • not easily available for daily use
    • returns as precipitation rather than direct drinking water
    • not directly drinkable without removing salt
    • usable if pollution is controlled and water is treated

  5. Which claim about groundwater is best supported by Earth water maps?

    • rivers hold most of Earth's water
    • most water is salt water, and only a small part is readily usable fresh water
    • all water is fresh
    • ice is never water

  6. A map label points to lake. What kind of water store is this?

    • fresh water
    • all Earth's water
    • a magnetic material
    • a food-web producer

  7. Which statement describes river on an Earth system map?

    • a small part of Earth's fresh water
    • water vapor and clouds
    • most of Earth's water
    • much of Earth's fresh water

  8. Which map evidence supports identifying ocean?

    • large ocean areas cover much of the map
    • aquifer labels appear beneath plains
    • blue shapes appear inside land areas
    • cloud bands move over land and ocean

  9. Why is water from lake limited for human use?

    • not directly drinkable without removing salt
    • often usable after treatment
    • not easily available for daily use
    • usable if pollution is controlled and water is treated

  10. Which claim about glacier ice is best supported by Earth water maps?

    • all water is fresh
    • most water is salt water, and only a small part is readily usable fresh water
    • rivers hold most of Earth's water
    • ice is never water
