what are the 4 major areas of water storage on earth?

Water can be stored in three main places: the atmosphere, on the surface of the Earth, and underground. Specifically these water storage areas are known as reservoirs and include oceans, glacier ice, groundwater, lakes, soil moisture, living organisms, the atmosphere, and rivers.

The four major components of environment include lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, corresponding to rocks, water, air and life respectively. Lithosphere is the outermost layer of earth called crust, which is made of different minerals.

It is useful to categorize the requirements for life on Earth as four items: energy, carbon, liquid water, and various other elements.

The spheres are the four subsystems that make up the planet Earth. ... The four spheres are the geosphere (all the rock on Earth), hydrosphere (all the water on Earth), atmosphere (all the gases surrounding Earth), and biosphere (all the living things on Earth).

The Earth's atmospheric pressure and relatively stable temperatures make liquid water possible.

The major components of the hydrologic cycle are precipitation (rainfall, snowfall, hale, sleet, fog, dew, drizzle, etc.), interception, depression storage, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, percolation, moisture storage in the unsaturated zone, and runoff (surface runoff, interflow, and baseflow).

The surface of the planet is approximately 71% water and contains (5) five oceans, including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern. Their borders are indicated on the world image (above) in varied shades of blue.

Water covers a vast majority of our planet. There's a whole lot of water on Earth! Something like 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons (326 million trillion gallons) of the stuff (roughly 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters) can be found on our planet.

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).

Types of Bodies of Water. There are five classifications of bodies of water: Oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and canals. There are 5 oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern. They are salt water and cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.

But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water.

Student Features. Many processes work together to keep Earth's water moving in a cycle. There are five processes at work in the hydrologic cycle: condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration. These occur simultaneously and, except for precipitation, continuously.
