T5-Patterns on Earth

T5 - Patterns on Earth

QuestionAnswer
The Water Cycle The movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface.
Water Water is a solid, liquid and gas.
Water Vapor Water as a gas.
Condensation When water gas cools and changes to a liquid.
Precipitation When water falls to Earth. It falls into oceans, rivers and lakes.
Evaporation Water goes from a liquid state to a gas state.
Surface Runoff Water from rain or snow that flows over land before ending up in a body of water.
Percolation The movement of water through the soil itself. Finally, as the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches ground water, which is water below the surface.
Transpiration The process in which plants lose water in the form of water vapor.
Accumulation The process of water collecting in rivers, lakes, streams, oceans and other bodies of water.
Ground Water Groundwater is from precipitation and can resurface to replenish streams, rivers, and lakes.
Landforms (6) M S D C C W
Weathering The breaking down of sediment.
Erosion The movement of sediment by water, wind and ice.
Deposition The deposit of sediments in a new place.
Sedimentary Rock The rocks broken off of landforms and carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and oceans.
Mesa Formed by rain and wind weathering away sediments from a rock in the desert.
Sand Dune Formed when wind deposits sand in a new location.
Delta Formed when sediments are deposited by a river.
Canyon Formed when a river weathers rock and erodes the sediments. A deep narrow valley with steep sides.
Cliff Formed by waves crashing against rock over a long period of time.
Wide Valley Formed by a glacier moving slowly over land.
Landslide The downhill movement of rock and soil.
Compaction and cementation The process that forms sedimentary rocks.
Clay Clay will hold the most water. Water drains very slowly through clay.
Silt Silt is a type of soil that is mainly deposited by rivers. Silt will hold some water. Water drains slowly in silt.
Sand Sand does not hold any water. Water drains easily.
