When water does not infiltrate into the ground, it flows over the land to streams or lakes which is called what
Surface Runoff
Every organism requires this for survival

A mixture of saltwater and freshwater
Brackish Water
lakes that are created by catastrophic extraterrestrial impacts by either meteorites or asteroids
Meteorites or Crater Lakes
An egg is what percent of water
74%
Density is Mass divided by what
Volume
The study of marine environments is called
Oceanography
The place where sunlight never reaches
Benthic Zone
These lakes form due to movements of the crust of the earth that include faulting, tilting, folding and warping,
Tectonic Lake or Rift Lakes

The study of inland water bodies, including ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands, is called
Limnology
These include the oceans and seas, lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, estuaries, wetlands, and underground water
Aquatic Enviroments
Lakes created by glacial activity
Glacial Lakes
This percent of earth's water by volume is in the oceans, seas, salt lakes, and salty groundwater, and is too salty for most human uses and freshwater life
97%
These rivers can be found throughout the eastern third of North Carolina
Blackwater Rivers
If water molecules did not bond asymmetrically, it would occur as a gas at room temperature and have an extremely low freezing point, making life impossible
Polar Molecule
These are intertidal zones, where the land meets the sea and they are flooded with saltwater twice daily as the tides come in
Salt Marshes
Although somewhat rare, these lakes were formed when ancient waterfalls scoured out deep pools

Palustrine
This means "very little" in Ancient Greek
"Oligo"
