|
When water molecules cling to one another
Cohesion
|
Explain the water cycle?
Evaporation, Condensation, precipitation
|
Large mass of ice that covers and area of land and moves very slowly downhill
Glacier
|
A smaller body of water flowing in one direction through a larger body of water.
Current
|
Water found beneath the surface of the earth
ground water
|
|
Water molecules cling well to other substances
Adhesion
|
The process when liquid becomes a gas
Evaporation
|
Large piece of ice floating in the ocean or sea
Iceberg
|
Cycle of the rising and lowering of the ocean water level in a specific area.
Tide
|
Power that comes from moving water
Hydropower
|
|
The force that holds a liquid's outer surface together
(think penny experiment)
Surface Tension
|
The process in which a gas becomes a liquid.
Condensation
|
A landform created when the end of a river meets a lake or sea and deposits a lot of sediment.
Delta
|
What causes the rise and lowering of the ocean tides?
gravitational force of the moon
|
Name a way that groundwater reaches the surface of the earth and continues the water cycle.
Water well, spring, geyser, transpiration (plants)
|
|
Water can dissolve a lid range of important substances
Universal Solvent
|
Water that falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail.
Precipitation
|
Broken down bits of rock, sand, and soil
Sediment
|
Name one factor that causes ocean currents.
Wind, water temperature, salinity (amount of salt), Earth's rotation
|
A wheel turned by flowing water often used to provided power for machinery or a machine with blades that rotate from the flow of water.
water wheel or turbine
|
|
Ability of a liquid to move upward against gravity (plants)
Capillary Action
|
Water in the form of gas.
Water Vapor
|
The breaking down of rocks by water or wind (weather) or the carrying away of rocks and soil by wind, water, or ice.
Weathering or Erosion
|
Explain how the ocean currents move either cold or warm water through different parts of the ocean.
Currents that start near the equator move warm water, currents that start near the arctic or southern ocean move cold water.
|
To protect something from harm, contamination, or unnecessary waste.
Conserve
