5 True/False Questions

1. impermeable → a characteristic of materials, such as clay and granite, through which water does not easily pass

   True        False

2. precipitation → a tide with the least difference between low and high tide that occurs when the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other at the first and third quarters of the moon

   True        False

3. upwelling → the movement of cold water upward from the deep ocean. As winds blow away the warm surface water, cold water rises to replace it.

   True        False

4. groundwater → water that is not salty especially when considered as a natural resource

   True        False

5. waves → the daily rise and fall of Earth's waters on its coastlines

   True        False
