| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Evaporation | The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas |
| Transpiration | Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant |
| Plant Uptake | water from the soil is taken by the roots of plants and used to make the plant grow |
| Reservoirs | a large natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply. |
| Infiltration | the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil |
| Percolation | The downward movement of water through soil and rock due to gravity. |
| Precipitation | Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth'ssurface. |
| Sublimation | A change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid |
| Deposition | gas to solid |
| Condensation | The change of state from a gas to a liquid |
| Groundwater | water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers |
| Runoff | water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground |
| water cycle | The continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back |
| How do we clean water to be safe for human consumption? | through filtration. |
| How does solubility work? | like dissolves like |
| What is a watershed? | an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas. |
| What is the water table? | the level below which the ground is saturated with water. |
| What is permeability? | the state or quality of a material or membrane that causes it to allow liquids or gases to pass through it. |
| What is porosity? | Volume of pore space in a material |
| What is an aquifer? | An underground layer of porous rock between impermeable rock filled with water |
| stream piracy | The process by which one stream captures the headwaters of another stream |
| Erosion | Processes by which rock, sand, and soil are broken down and carried away (i.eweathering, glaciation) |
| stream gradient | the slope of a stream's channel in the downstream direction |
| young stream | a stream that flows swiftly down a steep slope or a valley with steep sides, causing rapid erosion. |
| old stream | slow stream moving over flat land |
| How does the topography of an area affect the water table? | It changes thedepth of the water table |
| Filtration | A process that separates materials based on the size of their particles. |
| Coagulation and Flocculation | adding chemicals to water causing particles to clump together |
| Sedimentation | the process in which soil particles and decaying organic matter accumulate in layers on the ground or at the bottom of large bodies of water, contributing to the formation of sedimentary rock |
| Filter | A device used to remove contamination from a fluidthese filters can be things like sand and coal |
| Disinfection | process used to destroy microorganisms; destroys all pathogenic organisms except spores |
