What is Fresh Water
100

What is the mouth?
100
living in water.
What is aquatic?
200
features of the earth’s surface, such as mountains, plateaus, and plains.
What is landforms
200
the process by which water moves through the ground, evaporates from earth into the air, forms clouds, and falls back to earth as rain or snow
What is the water cycle
200
the process of soil particles (sediment) settling to the bottom of a waterway.
What is sedimentation?
200
an area of land where a stream drops sediment and other materials as it empties into the sea or another large body of water. It is shaped like a triangle.
What is a delta
200
an organism that feeds on other organisms or organic matter because it cannot make its own food.
What is a consumer

large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak.
What is a Mountain?
300
rain, snow, sleet, or hail
What is precipitation?
300
rate of motion in a given direction; speed. The speed at which a stream flows is one factor that affects its ability to erode and deposit sediment.
What is a delta?
300
a large bend in a stream channel that develops when soil is eroded from one bank and deposited on the other
What is a meander?
300
an organism that can make its own food through the process of photosynthesis.
What is a producer
400
a large highland area of fairly level land separated from surrounding land by steep slopes.
What is Plateaus
400
the process by which a liquid becomes a gas
What is evaporation
400
something carried; for example, the amount of sediment carried by a stream or river
What is load?
400
a place where large amounts of water are stored for future use. Moss lake is one of these.
What is a Reservoir
400
an element that is normally colorless odorless and tasteless and which is the most abundant element and is essential to life.
What is oxygen
500
scientists who study the earth
What is a Geologist?
500
the process by which a gas becomes a liquid. Water vapor turns into liquid water by condensation.
What is condensation?
500
is solid matter that floats in a liquid and often settles to the bottom after a while.
What are sediments?
500
trees, shrubs, grasses, plants, and decayed plant material.
What is ground cover?
500
The ways in which the organisms in an ecosystem interact with one another according to what they eat.
