Erosion, Deposition, Weathering, Water Cycle

TermDefinition
solar energy energy source that powers water cycle....the sun
water cycle process that recycles water
condensation water vapor, lighter than air, forced upward, begins to cool until it reaches dew point where it forms clouds
dew point temperature at which air becomes saturated
run off water moving on surface of earth, down a slope, before it enters a channel, such as a creek or stream
aquifer natural underground area, large quatities of ground water fill the space between rocks and sediment and accumulate
watershed area of land where surface water drains down and flows to the same place.
permeability measure of the ability of an earth material to let water pass through it
percolation downward movement of water from the land surface into soil or porous rock caused mainly by gravity
evaporation when the sun heats up a body of water and causes the water to turn to water vapor
precipitation water condensed in the clouds falls to Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, and hail
groundwater water that flows through pores in rocks and soil beneath the surface of the ground and may enter the water table
surface water water that collects of the ground in puddles, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands, or oceans
water table the upper surface of underground water below the soil or rocks are permanently saturated with water and the pressure of water in the soil equals the pressure of the atmosphere
porosity measure of the amount and size of spaces within an earth material (sand, soil, gravel, clay)
