Lesson 1
A place where an organism lives and obtains all the things it needs to survive.
What is a habitat?
Supplies water to a river system.
What is a watershed?
Materials that have large and connected pores which allow gravel and sand to pass through.
What is a permeable material?
A mineral made up of Sodium and Chloride(NaCl).
What is salt?
The movement of energy through a body of water.
What is a wave?
Something that all organisms need to survive and carry out body processes.
What is water?
Body of water that is smaller and shallower than lakes.
What is a pond?
A material that has very small pores which gravel and sand can't pass through.
What is a impermeable material?
Total Amount of dissolved salts in a sample of water.
What is salinity?
A wall of rocks or concrete that is used to reduce erosion.
What is a grion?
Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
What is groundwater?
A lake that stores water for human use.
What is a reservoir?
The zone that is below the water table.
What is the saturated zone
0OC
What is the freezing point of water?
Something that moves in a circular path.
What is a water particle?
A form of matter that does not keep its shape and does not always take up the same amount of space.
What is a gas?
A nearly in-compressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.
What is a liquid?
An underground layer of permeable rock or sediment that holds water and allows it to flow.
What is an aquifer?
100OC
What is the boiling point of water?
Wavelength, frequency, wave height, crest, trough.
What are the characteristics of a wave?
The type of cloud that brings in thunderstorms.
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
When nutrients build up in a lake, causing algae to spread which forms a layer on the lake's surface. Plants and other organisms begin to die as a result of this causing decaying matter from these dead organisms to pile up and eventually fill up the lake.
What is eutrophication?
Through wells, pressure(artisan wells), and pumps.
What are ways to get water from an aquifer?
Pressure increases as this decreases.
What increases as depth decreases?
Depends on the strength of the wind and the length of time it blows.
What does the size of a wave depend on?
