Answer:

EXCHANGE POOL is a part of the cycle that holds water for a short period of time. 

RESERVOIR POOL is a part of the cycle that holds water for a long period of time. 

So, the main difference is the period of time each one holds water during the water cycle. 

Explanation:

Water is recycled during the water cycle. Chemical elements and water that are important for an ecosystem and the animals living in it are CONSTANTLY being recycled.  For instance, chemicals might travel from organisms to the atmosphere or oceans and come back to the organisms again. But, it certainly happens that water is held for many years in different parts of the cycle. For example, the atmosphere plays the role of an exchange pool because it holds the water in the shape of vapor for just a few days. The ocean is a reservoir for water since it may hold water for thousands of years. The water cycle happens on, above and below earth surface, so the water cycle is a global cycle.

What is Laslow's hierarchy?
dybincka [34]
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a system that lists the needs felt by every human being, in order of ease of accomplishment. Our basic survival (physiological) needs (food, water, shelter) are on the bottom. Next up is our safety needs (being able to live without fear of danger), followed by love/belonging needs (the need to have people who you support, and whom support you). After that comes esteem needs (the need to be supportive of your own choices). Finally, at the top of the list is the need for self-actualization. This is the need to feel like your life has significant meaning, and that you have done something for the greater good of humanity. This is a rare need to meet.
