2. Water, Water Everywhere
• All the oceans in the world are really one huge

3. Why is the Ocean salty?
• Salt in the ocean comes from rocks.
• Rocks have salt in them and are worn down by
water -> the salt goes in the ocean.

4. Where does sand come from?
• Sand is formed when rocks break apart and
crumble into bits. Each grain of sand is really a
tiny piece of rock or shell.

5. Tides rise and fall everyday
• When the water near shore rises and gets
deep, it is high tide.
• When the water falls and gets shallow, it is low

• Tides are caused mostly by the pull of the
moons gravity on the earth and its oceans.

• The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves
