| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Surface tension | is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible |
| Solvent | is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical |
| Specific | n thermodynamics, the specific heat capacity (symbol c) of a substance is the amount of heat that must be added to one unit of mass of the substance |
| Evaporation | is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. |
| Condensation | A condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two molecules are combined to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of a small molecule .. |
| Freezing | Global cooling was a conjecture, especially during the 1970s, of imminent cooling of the Earth culminating in a period of extensive glaciation, due to the |
| Melting | melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy |
| Boiling | Boiling ... Boiling or ebullition is the rapid phase transition from liquid to gas or vapor; the reverse of boiling is condensation. Boiling occurs when a liquid |
| Capillary action | Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow |
| Universal solvent | Water, described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve many substances; Alkahest, a hypothetical solvent able to dissolve every other substance |
| Mechanical weathering | processes are either physical or chemical. The former involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through such mechanical effects as heat, water, ice |
| Chemical weathering | processes are either physical or chemical. The former involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through such mechanical effects as heat, water, ice, |
| Erosion | s the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust |
| Sediment | is a solid material made of loose particles that is transported to a new location where it is deposited. It occurs naturally and, through the |
| Deposition | Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials |
| Valley glacier | A glacier that fills a valley is called a valley glacier, or alternatively, an alpine glacier or mountain glacier. A large body of glacial ice astride |
| Ice age | Ice Age is an American media franchise created by Michael J. Wilson, [1] centering on a group of mammals surviving the Pleistocene ice age |
| Continental glacier | In glaciology, an ice sheet, also known as a continental glacier, is a mass of glacial ice that covers surrounding terrain and is greater than 50,000 km2 |
| Glacier | Glaciers cover about 10% of Earth's land surface. Continental glaciers cover nearly 13 million km2 (5 million sq mi) or about 98% of Antarctica's 13.2 million . |
| Groundwater | is the water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. About 30 percent of all |
| Alluvial fan | n alluvial fan is an accumulation of sediments that fans outwards from a concentrated source of sediments, such as a narrow canyon emerging from an |
| Delta | he Delta Science Program funds scientific research critical to establishing unbiased and authoritative knowledge directly relevant to Delta management actions |
| Flood plain | Floodplains stretch from the banks of a river channel to the base of the enclosing valley, and experience flooding during periods of high discharge |
| Tributary | A tributary, [1] or an affluent, [2] is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream (main stem or "parent"), river, or a lake |
| Stream | he spot Monitoring Program conducts statewide monitoring to provide information on the condition of California waterways with respect to trends in sediment |
| Runoff | Agricultural runoff as a nonpoint source category of pollution. Resouces to learn more a bout conservation practices to reduce water quality impacts from |
| Loess | LOESS combines much of the simplicity of linear least squares regression with the flexibility of nonlinear regression. It does this by fitting simple models to |
| Sand dune | A dune is a landform composed of wind- or water-driven sand. It typically takes the form of a mound, ridge, or hil |
| Deflation | Deflation occurs when the inflation rate falls below 0% and becomes negative. While inflation reduces the value of currency over time, deflation increases it |
| Mass movement | Mass movement (geology), the movement of rock and soil down slopes due to gravity; Mass movement (politics), a large-scale social movement; Mass |
| Plucking | Plucking or tweezing can mean the process of human hair removal, removing animal hair or a bird's feathers by mechanically pulling the item from the owner's |
| Till | t is based on the true story of Mamie Till, an educator and activist who pursued justice after the murder of her 14-year-old son Emmett in August 1955 |
| Longshore drift | Longshore drift is simply the sediment moved by the longshore current. This current and sediment movement occurs within the surf zone |
