Grade 5 - Science - On Level

NameDate
A map label points to lake. What kind of water store is this?
- a food-web producer
- all Earth's water
- a magnetic material
- fresh water
Which statement describes atmosphere on an Earth system map?
- most of Earth's water
- fresh water stored below ground
- surface fresh water in basins
- water vapor and clouds
Which map evidence supports identifying river?
- large ocean areas cover much of the map
- cloud bands move over land and ocean
- thin lines connect mountains to lakes and oceans
- aquifer labels appear beneath plains
Why is water from lake limited for human use?
- usable if pollution is controlled and water is treated
- returns as precipitation rather than direct drinking water
- not easily available for daily use
- often usable after treatment
Which claim about lake is best supported by Earth water maps?
- ice is never water
- rivers hold most of Earth's water
- all water is fresh
- most water is salt water, and only a small part is readily usable fresh water
