A | B |
precipitation | Water moves to ground, usually from clouds |
evaporation | liquid changes to a gas |
condensation | gas changes to liquid |
droplets | tiny drops of water that make up clouds |
sublimation | change from solid to gas |
man-made precipitation | irrigation |
percolation | water moves through the ground |
infiltration | water moves into the ground |
run off | water moving across the land |
interception | water is caught and slowed on its way down |
transpiration | Evaporation through plants |
crystalization | change from liquid or gas to solid |
convection | heat moving in rolling currents |
density | mass divided by volume |
disolved oxygen | goes down in warmer water, state standard 6.0 ppm |
turbidity | measures how much light penetrates water |
three ways heat moves | conduction, convection, radiation |
glaciers and ice caps | location of most of the Earth's fresh water |
irrigation | man made precipitation |
polutants that can lead to | Eutrophication |
gas from car exhaust and power plants that causes acid rain | nitrogen |
This is what there is most of in a solution | sovent |
this is the stuff dissolved in a solvent | solutes |
normal pH for water | around 7 |
measures how acid or base a solution is | pH |
