Water cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what includes all liquid and solid water particles that fall from a cloud and reach the ground | Precipitation |
| what is the release of water from plant leaves | transpiration |
| what is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas | Evaporation |
| transpirtation accounts for about _______ percent of the moisture in the atmosphere | 10% |
| what is the sum of evaporation from the land surface plus transpiration from plants | Evapotranspiration |
| Evaporation from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, stream) providing nearly _______ percent of the moisture in the atmosphere | 90% |
| what are five factors that affect the rate of transpiration | humidity, temperature, wind, air movement, type of plant |
| what is the driving force of the water cycle | the energy from the sun |
| What happens to 90% of the water used by cities or industry? why is that bad? | It becomes waste water. Because of pollution |
| How much of earth is covered in water | 71% |
| how much of he water is fresh | 2.5% |
| Name different water sheds that we live in | white lake, white river, lake Michigan |
| What are 3 qualities for a healthy stream, for a salmon to lay its eggs | cool water, very little silt, some dissolved oxygen |
| What is the riparian zone? | the area where the land meets the water, or the shoreline |
| does higher turbidity cause the stream temp to rise slower or fast? why? | It causes it to rise quicker, than usual, and its because the particles absorb more heat. |
| What do high levels of nitrates and phosphates do to a stream? | High levels could make it difficult for aquatic animals, or fish to survive |
| Sand and silt ____________________________ are deprived of oxygen | covered eggs |
| Good for salmon: high levels of dissolved ________ and neutral ______ | Oxygen pH |
| Stream velocity- Too slow - increased water _______ and decreased oxygen to fast eroded ______________ and no invertebrates | Temperature & sponing beds |
| A __________________ is 3000 machine | Colorimeter |
| What is an aquifer | A body of permeable rock which can contain or transmit ground water |
| What are two zones of an aquifer | Unsaturated and saturated |
| Example of a recharge zone | or the area that water enters the aquifer |
| what is a meander? | A curvey river |
| What is an oxbow lake | where the water cuts in, in a lake |
| How does a meander become and oxbow lake | From the bank eroding and also it happens very slowly |
| Tell me about your expertise in water testing | My group did pH. pH is a study of water. We study for pH levels, when levels are two low the water has more acid, and when they are to high the water has more alkaline. Testing this is important because id we didn't the water could be bad without anyone k |
