Aquifers
What is a well?
Wind transferring energy to the ocean surface most directly creates this type of water movement.
What are waves?
The highest point of a wave is called this.
What is the crest?
This method transfers heat through direct contact between particles.
What is conduction?
The layer of Earth where humans live and where tectonic plates are located is called this.
What is the crust?
This artificial lake is created when a dam blocks a river and stores large amounts of water.
What is a reservoir?
The regular rise and fall of ocean water levels is called this.
What are tides?
This is the lowest point of a wave.
What is a trough?
Heat from the sun reaching Earth through empty space travels by this process.
What is radiation?
This layer of Earth is made of mostly molten rock and is the thickest layer of the planet.
What is the mantle?
Materials like clay that prevent groundwater from passing through easily are described by this term.
What is impermeable?
These are long-distance movements of ocean water that transport heat around the globe.
What are currents?
This is the horizontal distance between two crests.
What is wavelength?
This method of heat transfer occurs when warm fluids rise and cooler fluids sink.
What is convection?
This is the atmospheric layer that contains most weather and clouds.
What is the troposphere?
Water stored underground in the spaces between soil and rock is called this.
What is groundwater?
This type of tide occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned and tidal range is greatest.
What is a spring tide?
This measurement describes the vertical distance from crest to trough.
What is wave height?
ΖΛ₯α β©Oα‘ β Λ₯Iβα‘: Metal pots heating up when touching a stove burner is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is conduction?
The atmospheric layer containing the ozone layer is called this.
What is the stratosphere?
π³π°πΈπ»π π³πΎπ π±π»π΄: This boundary marks the top of the zone where all spaces are filled with water.
What is the water table?
The main force responsible for creating tides on Earth is this force pulling between Earth and the moon.
What is gravity?
This is the vertical distance from sea level to the crest of a wave.
What is amplitude?
The rising of warm air that leads to cloud formation is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is convection?
Meteors usually burn up in this atmospheric layer.
What is the mesosphere?
This area of land is where water from precipitation can soak into the ground and enter an aquifer, helping refill the groundwater supply.
What is the recharge zone?
This effect, caused by Earth's rotation, influences the direction of large ocean currents and wind patterns.
What is the Coriolis effect?
Δβ³Εβ± Ι ΔΓΙΰΈΏβ± Ι: Increasing the speed of the wind blowing over water will generally increase this property of the wave.
What is wave height?
Feeling warmth from a campfire even though you are not touching it demonstrates this method of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
The extremely hot atmospheric layer where most satellites can be found is called this.
What is the thermosphere?
