Condensation is when evaporate water (water vapor) turns back into water in the atmosphere.
What is the step after evaporation and what happens in the process?
|
The laying down of matter
What is deposition?
|
a tributary
A stream that flows into a lake or into a bigger stream is called what?
|
an aquifer is a body of rock or sediment that stores ground water and allows the flow of freshwater.
What is an aquifer?
|
stalactite form at the ceiling and stalagmite form on the ground.
What is the difference between a stalactite and stalagmite?
|
|
energy from the sun
What motivates the water cycle (causes evaporation)?
|
placer deposit
Fill in the blank: Heavy minerals that are deposited in a river where the current slows down is called a _______.
|
opposite directions
Fill in the blank: A divide is the boundary between drainage areas that have streams that flow in ________ directions.
|
it forms when water from an aquifer flows through cracks in the cap rocks.
How dose an artesian spring form?
|
its forms when the water table is lower than the cave and the cave collapse.
How does a sinkhole form?
|
|
the downward movement of water through pores and other spaces due to gravity
What is peroclation? * DAILY DOUBLE! * (600 points)
|
when a river's current slows as it empties into a large body of water, sediment is deposited in a fan-shaped pattern called a delta.
How do delta's form?
|
streams and rivers
A river system is made up of what?
|
it's an area in which water travels downward to become part of an aquifer.
What is a recharge zone?
|
it is called a dripstone column.
What is it called when a stalactite and a stalagmite join together?
|
|
evaporation, condensation, percipitation, peroclation, and run-off
Name the five steps of the water cycle in order.
|
When a fast-moving stream flows onto a flat plain it slows down, depositing sediment and forming an on dry land delta called an alluvial fan.
Explain how alluvial fans form.
|
the amount of a water that a stream or river carries in a given amount of time.
What is a discharge?
|
the zone of aeration.
What is the zone above the water table called?
|
a cave
What forms from an underground erosion?
