Kapa ʻia nā wai o uka a pau nā waihona wai a me nā waihona wai ʻē aʻe e waiho ana ma ka ʻāina o kekahi ʻāina. ʻAʻole hiki i nā kahawai a me nā loko wale nō i uka, akā kahi ʻāpana o ke kai a i ʻole ke kai, ma kahi kokoke o ka palena mokuʻāina.

He kahawai kahi kahawai e neʻe ana no kahi manawa lōʻihi ma kahi kahawai. Kahe mau ka hapa nui o nā kahawai, akā hiki i kekahi ke hoʻomaloʻo i ke kau wela. I kēia hihia, like ko lākou kahawai me kahi ʻauwaha one a lepo paha, i hoʻopiha hou ʻia me ka wai ke hāʻule ke ana wela a me nā ua nui.
E kahe ana kēlā kahawai i laila kahi pali. Hōʻike kēia i ke ʻano huikau loa o kekahi o nā kahawai, e hoʻololi mau nei i ka ʻaoʻao. E kahe koke paha ka kahawai i loko o kahi kahawai ʻē aʻe, a i loko o kahi loko, kai, kai.

He kino maoli ia o ka wai i loko o kahi hohonu o ka pā honua a i ʻole ka hala mauna. ʻO ka kikoʻī nui o nā loko i ka loaʻa ʻole o kā lākou pili me ke kai. Ma ke ʻano he kumu, hoʻopiha ʻia nā loko i kekahi e nā kahawai e kahe ana, a i ʻole nā punawai e kahe mai ana mai lalo. Eia kekahi ma waena o nā hiʻohiʻona kahi paʻa paʻa o ka wai. Ua "paʻa" ia ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻole o nā kahe nui a me kahi kahe nui ʻole o ka wai hou.

Kāhea ʻia kahi kahawai hoʻopihapiha i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka wai he kahawai. Kūkulu ʻia kēia mau hale e nā kānaka no kahi kumu kikoʻī, e like me ka lawe ʻana i ka wai i nā ʻāina maloʻo a i ʻole ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi ala lawe pōkole. Eia kekahi, hiki ke kahawai i kahawai. I kēia hihia, hoʻohana ʻia ia ke kahe ana ka waihona wai nui. Ke piʻi aʻe ka kiʻekiʻe o ka wai ma luna o kahi mea koʻikoʻi, kahe ia ma waena o ke kahawai hana i kahi ʻē aʻe (ʻoi aku ka nui i kekahi wai o ka wai ma lalo), a ʻo kahi hopena e nalowale ana ka likelika o ke kahawai kahakai.

ʻO ke one wai kekahi kino kai uka. Manaʻo ʻia ua ʻike ʻia nā kualapa mua ma ka Honua ma kahi o 400 miliona mau makahiki i hala. Kuhi ʻia ia ʻano waihona i ka limu popopo, hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hydrogen sulfide, ke kū ʻana o kahi nui o nā makika a me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka glacier kahi wai nui loa ma kahi mokuʻāina hau. ʻAʻole kēia he wai o ke kai, akā pili naʻe ia i ka wai o uka. Aia he ʻelua ʻano glaciers: ka pale a me nā aniani kuahiwi. ʻO ka ʻano ʻekahi ka hau e uhi ana i kahi ākea o ka ʻili o ka honua. He mea maʻamau ia ma nā wahi ʻākau e like me Greenland. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka glacier mauna e kahi hoʻonohonoho kū i luna. He mauna hau ia. ʻO Icebergs kekahi ʻano o ka glacier mauna. ʻOiaʻiʻo, paʻakikī e hoʻokū iā lākou ma ke ʻano o ka wai o uka ma muli o kā lākou neʻe mau ʻana ma kai.
Ka wai o lalo
ʻAʻole pili wale nā wai o uka i nā kino wai wale nō, akā i nā waihona wai o lalo. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia lākou i nā ʻano he nui, kaukaʻi ʻia i ka hohonu o ka hanana. Hoʻohana ākea ka mālama ʻana i ka wai o ka honua no nā kumu inu, ʻoiai ma ka hapanui o nā hihia he wai maʻemaʻe loa ia, pinepine me kahi hopena hoʻōla.
Kai a kai
Aia kēia hui i ka panalāʻau o ke kai a i ʻole ke kai e pili ana i ka palena kai o ka ʻāina ma loko o ka palena mokuʻāina o ka ʻāina. Eia nā kahakai, kahi e pili ai kēia lula: pono pono nā kahakai a pau o ke kai kūʻono i hoʻokahi mokuʻāina, a ʻo ka laulā o ka ʻili o ka wai ma mua o 24 mile mile. ʻO ka wai kai loko e hoʻopili pū i nā wai awa a me nā kahawai no ka holo ʻana o nā moku.
