Water CycleFree Response Stream Tables River Systems Misc.
The change of water molecules from a gas
to a liquid
What is condensation?
Water, in its three states, solid, liquid, and gas,
moves from one place to another in a continuous
cycle
What is the water cycle?
The change of water from a liquid to a gas
What is evaporation?
Water droplets that are formed around a particle of dust, become heavier than air, and fall to earth
as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
What is precipitation?
The process by which rocks break down into various earth
materials
What is weathering?
Name three forms of precipitation
What are rain, snow, sleet, and hail?
List two things that can prevent flooding.
What are:1.Dams2.Levees
List the four components of soil.
What are:1. Sand2. Clay3. humus4. gravel
List the three states (or forms) of water.
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
Soil components that have been eroded and deposited by moving
water
What are sediments?
Electricity created by stored water or water
from a reservoir
What is hydroelectric power?
An artificial lake formed by a dam to store excess runoff
What is a reservoir?
Trees, shrubs, grasses, twigs, leaves,
and bark that cover and lay on the ground
What is ground cover?
A view of the land with natural scenery
What is a landscape?
A “bird’s eye view” or a view from above
What is an aerial view?
deposited sediment that forms in a triangular shape at the
mouth of a stream
What is a delta?
Small streams that join and flow with larger streams and
make a river
What are tributaries?
Large sweeping curves in a stream
caused by the erosion of soil on one bank
and the depositing of it on the other
What are meanders?
The place where water from a stream finally enters a lake
or ocean
What is the mouth?
The speed at which a stream flows
What is velocity?
Water that soaks into the earth
What is ground water?
A waterproof box that contains sand,
gravel, and other soil components and that has a water source
What is a stream table?
Water that flows over the surface of land
What is runoff?
The wearing away and moving of
particles of soil and rock
What is erosion?
The amount of water that passes a given point in the channel in a given amount of
time
What is flow?
