Hydrology strand
S6E3. Students will recognize the significant role of water in earth processes.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ground Water: | Fresh Water beneath the surface of the earth |
| Precipitation: | fresh Water falling to the earth as a liquid (rain) or a solid (snow, hail) |
| Condensation: | The process by which water vapor in the air cools to form tiny droplets of water in the clouds |
| Hydrologic cycle: | the never-ending movement of water through the atmosphere, ground and back again; |
| Transpiration: | the process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. Water is first absorbed by the plant's roots, then later exits by evaporating through pores in the plant |
| infiltration (percolation): | the process by which water seeps into the soil |
| Oceans: | Salt water that stores most of the Earth’s water. Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is ocean; |
| Evaporation: | occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air |
| Fresh water | Found in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, groundwater and swamps. |
| Sun energy | Drives the water cycle |
| Water vapor | Water in the gas state |
