Water Knowledge
100
This type of river is wider rather than deeper and has fewer falls and rapids.
What is a mature river?
100
This load type is a solution.
What is a dissolved load?
100
This phase of the cycle is driven by gravity and occurs when a drop of water increases its initial size by 100 times.
What is precipitation?
100
Underground water is classified by locations or zones, (what are they).
What are the zones of saturation or aeration?
100
The amount of water (on Earth) that exists as polar ice.
What is 2.3%?
200
This river is deeper rather than wider.
What is a youthful river?
200
This type of load makes the water look dirty.
What is a suspended load?
200
This phase is driven by gravity and occurs as water replenishes the water table.
What is percolation?
200
This is a materials ability to allow fluids to pass through it.
What is permeability?
200
Heavy minerals are deposited in a river at the point where the river slows down.
What are placer deposits?
300
This river has very few tributaries.
What is a youthful river?
300
This load consists of large pebbles.
What is a bed load?
300
This phase is driven by gravity and occurs when water flows over land.
What is runoff?
300
This stores water and allows underground water to flow.
What is a aquifer?
300
Pollution that comes from a specific site.
What is a point-source pollution?
400
This type of river has very low erosive energy.
What is a old river?
400
This load consists of boulders.
What is a bed load?
400
This phase is driven by energy and occurs when water gains energy.
What is evaporation?
400
This exists between the zone of aeration and saturation.
What is the water table?
400
This fan-shaped mass is caused by a decrease in slope.
What is an alluvial fan?
500
This river is located around tectonic activity.
What is a rejuvenated river?
500
The materials carried by a stream.
What is a load?
500
This phase is driven by energy and occurs when water loses energy.
What is condensation?
500
The percentage of rock that contains cavities.
What is porosity?
500
This fan-shaped mass is located at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
