- Distribution of water on Earth’s surface
- The ocean supports a variety of ecosystems and organisms, shapes landforms, and influences climate. Winds and clouds in the atmosphere interact with the landforms to determine patterns of weather. (5-ESS2-1)
- ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes
- Nearly all of Earth’s available water is in the ocean. Most freshwater is in glaciers or underground; only a tiny fraction is in streams, lakes, wetlands, and the atmosphere. (5- ESS2-2)
Human activities in agriculture, industry, and everyday life have had major effects on the land, vegetation, streams, ocean, air, and even outer space. But individuals and communities are doing things to help protect Earth’s Resources and environments. (5-ESS3-1)

Week 18: Multisyllabic words -tion words
Explanation:
*If the ending is pronounced as in station, then it’s spelled -tion. For example:
addition; duration; nation; solution; ambition; edition; caution; position.
*If the noun is related to a word ending in -ate, then the ending will be -ation, e.g. donation (from donate) or vacation (from vacate).
Here are some more examples:
accommodation; location; creation; rotation; education; mediation.
*If the ending comes after any consonant apart from -l, -n, or -r, then the ending is spelled -tion:
action; connection; reception; affection; interruption; description; collection; infection; deception.
*After -n and -r, the ending can be -tion or -sion. It’s more likely to be -tion if the word’s related to another one that ends in -t or -tain, e.g. assertion (from assert) or retention (from retain). Here are some more examples: exertion; distortion; abstention; invention.
