What is permeability?
100
This type of pollution comes from fertilizers, insecticides, etc. entering into a river/stream causing eutrophication

What is potable?
200
Precipitation that falls to Earth and flows over land into lakes, streams, and rivers
What is runoff?
200
Extraction of groundwater causes this (example: sinkhole)
What is land subsidence?
200
Roads and parking lots cause this type of pollution in urban areas
What is urban runoff?
200
Warm ocean currents move from the areas of more heat energy to areas with
What is less heat energy?

When the water table reaches above the surface level, these two things can occur:
What is flooding and wetlands?
300
Plants adding water vapor to the air
What is transpiration?
300
The pumping of water around an aquifer causes water levels to drop near the well.
