Mass wasting : landslides: environmental protection. Global warming climate change: other. 1. 36 billion km3 volume of water on earth: main processes that converts state of water and its movement: Evapotranspiration 380,000 total: evaporation 320,000km + 60,000km, transpiration --- Note: oceans lose more water by evaporation than gain by precipitation. Land surface receives more water as precipitation than lost by evapotranspiration: water storage: earth"s hydrosphere. Non-oceans [ rest of water non-ocean 2. 8%] Ice and snow 2. 15: groundwater 0. 62, freshwater bodies 0. 01, atmosphere 0. 001% Running moving water erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Hydrological processes: global-regional-local scales: global patterns and distributions. Kitchener waterloo: depends on groundwater 40 million gallons per day, mannheim water treatment plant. 300km in length: flows 55 m3/sec, contains laurel creek watershed.
