Term Definition
erosion The removal and transport of surface material such as rocks and soil.
water cycle The continuous movement of water from water sources such as into lakes, oceans, the sky, and the ground.
drainage basin The land drained by a river system, which is ther river and its tributaries.
tributary A smaller stream or river that flows into a larger river.
divide The area in which drainage basins are seperated from each other.
channel The path a stream follows.
gradient The measure of the change in the elevation over a certain distance.
discharge The volume of water a river transports over a given amount of time.
load The material that collects in a stream's water.
deposition The process in which material drops, or settles.
alluvium Rock and soil deposited by a river.
delta A fan-shaped deposit formed when a load reaches a large bory of water such as a lake or an ocean.
alluvial fan A fan-shaped deposit that forms on dry land.
flood plain An area that gets flooded by the water in a river due to too much water for the river to hold. It mainly happens when there is a high snowmelt, which is normally during warm seasons.
ground water Water that comes from the earth's surface.
water table The invisible line seperating, or in between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeriation.
aquifer A rock layer that stores and allows the flow of water.
porosity The amount of open space between rock particles.
permeability A rock's ability to have water pass through it.
artesian spring A spring that forms where cracks occur naturally in the cap rock and the pressurized water in aquifers press to the surface through the crack.
karst topography An area where ground water erosion is noticable at the surface.
point-source pollution A single point from which pollution comes from. It is pretty easy to keep this kind of water pollution under control.
nonpoint-source pollution This type of pollution is very hard to control, because it comes from multiple sources.
sewage treatment plants Factories that clean the waste materials out of water that comes from the ser or drains.
septic tank A large underground tank that collects and cleans waste water from a household.
condensation This step of the water cylce occurs when water vapor cools into liquid water droplets that form clouds in the atmosphere.
precipitation This step of the water cylce occurs when rain, sleet, or snow falls from clouds onto the earth's surface.
runoff This step of the water cylce occurs when water collects in rivers, streams, and eventually lakes and oceans.
evaporation This step of the water cylce occurs when liquid water from the earth's surface and from living organisms change into water vapor.
percolation The downward movement through pores and and spaces in the soil due to gravity of water.
infiltration This step of the water cylce occurs when the water is pulled into the ground due to the pull of gravity.
bed load The load contains pebbles and boulders.
suspended load The load contains small rocks and soil in suspension, which can make the river look muddy.
dissolved load The load contains dissolved materials such as sodium and calcium.
youthful rivers This type of river erodes its channel deeper rather than wider, it has a high gradient, so it travels fast, and its sides are steep and straight.
mature rivers This type of river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper, it doesn't have as high a gradient as a youthful river, has more discharge, tributaries, and then also has lessfalls and rapids.
old rivers This type of river has a low gradeint and extremely low erosive power. These rivers contain more meanders.
rejuvenated rivers This type of river occurs where land is raised by earth's tectonic forces.
meander A turn in a river or tributary.
terrace A step-like feature created by a rejuvenated river.
zone of aeration The upper zone which usually isn't completely filled with water, but with rocks and soil too. ( Is about Ground water)
zone of saturation The lower zone where water accumilates between small rock particles.
porosity Open spaces in a rock laer expresses...
recharge zone The ground surface where water enters an aquifer.
springs Where water flows from the ground, it forms these.
artesian formation A sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched by 2 other layers of permeable rock.
cap rock In an artesian formation, the top layer is called this.
well A man-made hole deeper than the water table, therfore it would fill up with water.
dripstone A deposit of calcium carbonate, a type of limestone, is called this.
sinkhole A sinking, circular depression.
dripstone column Where a stalactite and a stalagmite meet each other, forming one object called this.
stalactite Looks like an icicle, and is formed by water, and is found at the top of caves.
stalagmite Looks like an icicle, and is formed by water, and is found at the bottom of caves.

whos : hello
sakurakino : i know!!! it's not working!
Magee : hiya

sakurakino : making changes i c
whos : hello?
michelle : ugh
dont_ask72 : :) i c he didn't fix the typos and in fact, added some more...at least you can read them though, we're not entirely stupid....
Magee : hi

whos : hello
michelle : i'm gonna die
whos : why?
garrett : because
garrett : some one called me ugly
garrett : hey megee
garrett : i like how u no so much about science
whos : hello
garrett : hey
garrett : yeah my name is richer and my best name is stewart
dont_ask72 : hello, it seems like no one studied
sakurakino : lol i didn't do this one
sakurakino : i used my book and my brains :) :idea:
michelle : ok....
sakurakino : yeah
