But that's just a theory, a PARTICLE THEORY
The particle theory has this many points
What is 6?
This is the process that occurs when a solid becomes a liquid
What is melting?
This is the state of matter that water is in when it is still in the clouds
What is gas?
What is 2?
This spanish word meaning tube is the origin for the word "Canyon"
What is cañon?
These are the first two points of the particle theory
What are:
1. All matter is made up of particles
2. All particles of one substance are identical
These are the processes that occur when a gas becomes a liquid and then a solid
What are condensation and freezing?
This term refers to the falling of solid or liquid water from the clouds
What is precipitation?
This is the name of the dark, sticky, lump of debris formed in wastewater when the chemical alum is added to it
What is floc?
This is what rivers do to the land they flow through
What is shape them?
These are the last four points of the particle theory
What are:
3. There are spaces between particles
4. There are forces of attraction between particles
5. Particles are in constant motion
6. Temperature affects the speed at which particles move
This is the process that occurs happens a solid becomes a gas
What is sublimation?
This is the term used to describe what happens to water after it falls from the clouds and makes contact with geological features like mountains
What is (a) runoff?
This force is what helps separate water and heavy waste in the two settling tanks of water treatment system
What is older?
These are the three categories of points of the Particle Theory that Mr. Stanislaus uses to remember all 6 points
What are matter, spaces, motion/movement?
This is the scientific meaning of the word "cold"
What is the absence of heat?
This term is the fancy word for the sweating of plants
What is transpiration?
This is the tank in which oxygen is added to help bacteria grow before they can consume organic waste
What is an/the aeration tank?
This is the name given to desert rivers by hydrologists
What is (an) arroyo? (must be said with rolled "r"'s)
This happens when I increase the amount of thermal energy particles have
What are an increase in speed and distance between particles?
These are the three changes of state that take place when particles GAIN thermal energy
What are evaporation, melting, and sublimation?
This is the name used to denote the upper boundary of a subterranean (underground) aquifer
What is water table?
These are the names and chemical formulas of disinfectants used in the final tank in a water treatment system
These geological marvels are called a "Continental Divide" because they funnel North American rainfall towards either the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean
What are the Rocky Mountains?
