Cycle 1
This stage of the water cycle refers to rain, sleet, hail, or snow falling to the earth.
What is precipitation?
This part of the water cycle is when water runs downhill into streams, creeks, rivers, etc..
What is runoff?
What is Dense?
What ancient organisms urine are we drinking when we have a glass of water?
What are Dinosaurs?
These are the initial paths of water formed by runoff and streamflow, the paths of least resistance that water takes.
What is a channel?
This stage of the water cycle refers to the condensing of water molecules into a liquidous form.
What is condensation?
This part of the water cycle is the absorption of water by the ground.
What is seepage?
The process in which water is able to degrade and wear away surfaces, creates rivers and streams.
What is weathering/erosion?
This is the chemical formula for water.
What is H2O?
These are the bends that are formed by streamflow in a river over time.
What is meander?
This stage of the water cycle involves energy from the sun (or other sources) being injected into liquid water so it turns into gas.
What is evaporation?
What is infiltration?
This property of water describes how it's able to dissolve any polar substances.
What is universal solvent?
This is the primary injector of energy in the water cycle.
What is the sun?
A body of water contributing and feeding into another.
What is a tributary?
Clouds are a part of this stage of the water cycle.
What is condensation?
This part of the water cycle is the movement of groundwater from one area to another.
What is groundwater flow?
This is the property of water that allows for cohesion on a surface.
(Hint, this is the property that allowed droplets to stay on the penny during your lab)
What is surface tension?
This underwater opening expels minerals and hot gas out.
What is a vent?
The large opening or "mouth" of a river into a larger body of water.
What is a delta?
What is transpiration?
This part of the water cycle refers to all the water flowing in low-lying lands via rivers, streams, etc..
What is streamflow?
These are the forces that determine the properties of water.
What are polar forces/hydrogen bonding?
An area where water moving underground finds an opening and begins to shoot out.
What is a spring?
An area or ridge of land that separates water flowing to different bodies of water.
What is a watershed?
