classification of environmental resources and the way that water connects and changes places as it moves through environments

Elaborations

• 1 classifying resources into renewable, non-renewable and continuous resources, and identifying examples of each type
• 2 explaining how the movement of water, such as groundwater, soil moisture (green water), surface water in dams, rivers and lakes (blue water), through the environment connects places and how water is a potential resource when it exists as salt water, ice or water vapour
• 3 explaining the environmental, economic or social effects of water as it connects places; for example, the environmental effects of water diversion in the Snowy Mountains, the economic effects of irrigation in the Ord River or the social effects of the Mutitjulu Waterhole connecting Australian First Nations Peoples in Central Australia
• 4 explaining how moving water changes places; for example, moving water causes soil and rock erosion or cuts valleys into mountains
