Energy Sources and Uses
A template map that students can use to see how energy use is related to sources of energy. The map is part of a larger discussion of how our energy use impacts the earth's climate.

1 - How does water phase change in the earth system?
Water can be found in three phases on Earth: gas, liquid and solid (ice). When heat energy is added from the sun, phase changes may occur (e.g., ice melt, evaporation of liquid water). Understanding basic water properties is fundamental to studying the global water cycle.

2 - Where is water stored in the earth system?
This concept map shows the location and quantity of water stored on land, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere. It also traces how water fluxes between these major reservoirs (e.g., evaporation, precipitation). Various forms of water such as sea ice, soil moisture, groundwater, and land ice are also included.

4 - What types of water motion can satellites detect?
Earth-observing satellites can detect the lateral movement of seawater while inferring its vertical motion. Examples from a NASA field experiment show how in situ and computer model data were used synergistically with satellite-based measurements to study the saltiest part of the North Atlantic Ocean.

5 - How do we detect water and its properties in the earth system?
Map outlines how satellite and airborne instruments (e.g., active, passive, gravitational) monitor elements of earth's water cycle. Surface properties such as sea level, roughness, salinity, and soil moisture are measured using altimeters, scatterometers, radar, and/or radiometers.

3 - How can the movement of water, heat, and salt impact humans?
Tracking the movement of heat, water and salt across the globe contributes to our understanding of the earth system. This map highlights human-relevant processes such as ocean circulation, El Niño / La Niña events, sea level rise, and fresh water resources.
