Dead Zones
Miscellaneous
100

Sediments that settle out of the flowing water, ice, or winds and drop to the ground due to slowing water

Deposition

100

The process of a gas (such as water vapor) losing heat energy to become a liquid (such as water).

Condensation
100

The shape of the land with its various elevations in an area.

Topography

100

A near-shore area of water with little or no dissolved oxygen and, therefore, very few organisms (living things).

Dead zone

100

Where is the majority of Earth's water found?

The ocean

200

The removal of sediments from an area. Common causes are gravity and moving water, wind and ice.

Erosion

200

What is the driving force of the water cycle?

The sun

200

A line on a topographic map that represents a specific elevation relative to sea level.

Contour Line

200

An area is called a "dead zone" because there is so little ___.

Oxygen

200

The movement of water through air and land.

Water Cycle

300

The breaking down of sediments in an area from wind, ice, or chemicals. 

Weathering

300

The process of a liquid (such as water) gaining heat energy to become a gas (such as water vapor).

Evaporation

300

The _____ the lines are on a topographic map, the steeper the incline is.

closer

300

Fan shaped landform that develops where sediments are deposited in one area as a result of flowing water.

Delta

300

Small pieces of earth such as rocks, shells and other debris.

Sediments

400

When rocks or pebbles are deposited in a river, the _______ ones will be deposited before the _________ ones. 

Larger, smaller

400

When plants release water vapor into the air:

Transpiration

400

The numbers on m topographic map show the following: __, 10, __, 30, __, 50.

What is the contour interval?

10

400

Fertilizers can lead to increased _____ in water, making dead zones larger. This good for farming, but not for water. 

Nitrates

400

To lessen the impact of something.

Mitigate

500

What is the difference between chemical and physical weathering? 

Chemical happens in warm, wet climates. Physical happens in cold, wet climates

500

The steps of the water cycle are all:

happening at the same time

500

The numbers on my topographic map show the following:  ___, 74, __, 148.

The contour interval is: 

37
