This kind of estuary forms an even level of fresh water on the surface and an even level of salt water on the bottom of the river. There are equal forces from the river and the tide.
What is a salt wedge?
100
Define cohesion and adhesion.
Cohesion: surface tension
Adhesion: water sticks to other stuff

This class is moderately tolerant to pollution.
What is class 3?
100
This is the species/life form that is a distinctive characteristic of bogs.
What is peat moss.
100
This wetland develops in shallow basins ranging from upland depressions to lakes and ponds that have filled in.
What is a basin wetland?
200
In this estuary, tidal force is greater than river flow. River output is less than marine input.
What is a partially mixed estuary?
200
Plants live in this range of pH.
What is 6.5 to 12?
200
This part of a lotic system is slow moving, deep, and smooth on the surface.
What is a run?
200
This is the type of bog that is formed when a stream runs through a low lying valley filled with peat.
What is a valley bog?
200
This wetland develops along shallow and periodically flooded banks of streams and rivers.
What is a riverine wetland?
300
In this estuary, the water column is well mixed and the vertical salinity gradient disappears.
What is a vertically homogeneous estuary?
300
Concentration of fecal coliform is measured in this way.
What is number of colonies per 100 mL?
300
These are the stages in the life cycle from birth to death of an invertebrate that experiences complete metamorphosis.
What are egg mass, larva, pupa, and adult?
300
This type of bog is formed from a lake or marshy area
What is a raised bog?
300
These wetlands are found along coasts of large lakes and seas where rising lake levels or tides cause water to flow back and forth.
What is a fringe wetland?
400
This is the most common example of a tectonic estuary.
What is San Francisco Bay?
400
This is the unit for turbidity.
What is a nepholometric turbidity unit?
400
These are the stages in the life cycle from birth to death of an invertebrate that experiences incomplete metamorphosis.
What are eggs, early stage nymph, last stage nymph, and adult.
400
This bog is formed by acidic rainwater that covers an area with a cool climate.
What is a blanket bog?
400
This is a model used to determine the biotic community expected as the size of the stream increases.
What is the river continuum concept?
500
This is a common example of a salt wedge.
What is the Mississippi River delta?
500
This type of organism can survive in water with a pH between 1 and 13.
What is bacteria?
500
This is an example of a collector (multiple possible answers). Give the stage in its life cycle.
What is a mayfly nymph, mussel, water flea, fly larvae or worms?
