The herring fishing in the Atlantic can be used as an example of this process

200
This is the process where water vapour cools and forms clouds
What is condensation?
300

Water that flows across the surface of the Earth and does soak in is called this

What is groundwater?

300

A remarkably flat, wide open place of the ocean where sediments can make layers almost 1 km thick in some places. What is it? 

The Abyssal Plain 

300

an especially strong tide that occurs twice a month during the new moon and full moon phases.

Spring Tide 

300

The leopard frog is a good example of this

What is indicator species?

300
This is the term for water that falls from the sky like rain and snow
What is precipitation?
400
This is the force that pulls water to the lowest point possible
What is gravity?

Explain how an ocean trench is formed 

An ocean plate pushes against the edge of a continental plate

400

What 3 factors influence the direction of wind and surface currents 

  • Uneven heating of the atmosphere (convection)

  • Rotation of the earth (bending)

  • The continents (deflecting)

3% Of the worlds water is Fresh. Of that 3% how is the water dispersed between glaciers, ground water and accessible above ground water

75% is glaciers 

~24% is ground water a

< 1% is in lakes, rivers, ponds, streams

What is drainage basin or watershed?
500
The submerged part of the continent between the coast and the edge of the basin is called this
What is continental shelf?
500

a moderate tide that occurs twice a month when the gravitational pulls of the Sun and the Moon are perpendicular to each other

Neap Tide 

500

What is Effluent?

The name given for wastewater that has been treated

500

If the Sun’s thermal energy is suddenly removed from the Earth's system, why does the water cycle immediately stall instead of continuing through groundwater flow?

What is because the Sun provides the fundamental thermal energy required to drive evaporation and transpiration, meaning the cycle lacks the vapour input to form clouds and precipitation
