100
A storage location for a substance, such as water

What is reservoir?

100
Where a stream meets a large body of standing water, usually the ocean
What is base level?
100
The total mass of living organisms in a given region

What is biomass?

100
Water that s pushed in a pile near shore by storm winds causing sea level to rise locally

What is storm surge?

100
Lower temperature and higher salinity yield the densest water

What is the temperature and salinity of very dense water?

200
The amount of time, on average, a substance remains in a reservoir
What is residence time?
200
Where two streams join together

What is confluence?

200
A measure of the amount of dissolved salt in water; average ocean salinity is 3.5%

What is salinity?

200
A change in the shape of water caused by energy from wind

What is wave?

200
nutrients
What does upwelling brings up to the surface
300
Water in the form of a gas
What is water vapor?
300
A large body of freshwater drained by a stream; naturally occurring or human made

What is lake?

300
The zone in the water column deeper than 200 m where sunlight does not penetrate

What is aphotic zone?

300
The highest water levels during a day caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon

What is high tide?

300
Ocean water that sinks due to higher density

What is downwelling?

400
Process in which a substance changes from a gas to a liquid
What is condensation?
400
A small body of freshwater, with no stream draining it; fed by an underground spring

What is pond?

400
The part of the ocean closest to the shore, between low and high tide

What is intertidal zone?

400
The lowest water levels during a day when high tide is one quarter of the way around Earth's sphere

What is low tide?

400
Temperature and salinity (density) driven currents that drive deep ocean circulation

What is thermohaline circulation?

500
Process in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas
What is evaporation?
500
A glacier found in a valley in the mountains

What is alpine (valley) glacier?

500
The part of the ocean where the continental shelf gradually slopes seaward

What is neritic zone?

500
Five loops created by surface ocean currents

What is gyre?

500
Cold, nutrient-rich water that rises from oceanic depths

What is upwelling?
