| aquifer | a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater. |
| watersheds | an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basin, or seas.-the expanse of salt water that covers most of the earth's surface and surrounds its landmasses. |
| river-basin | the land that water flows across or under on its way to a river. |
| tributaries | a river or stream flowing into a larger river or lake. |
| solvent | having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts |
| salt-water | Of or found in saltwater;living in the sea |
| estuaries | Places where freshwater streams and rivers flow into the ocean |
| Marine-ecosystem | These are the largest of all earth's aquatic ecosystems |
| reservoirs | A large natural or artificial lake |
| upwelling | a rising of seawater, magma, or other liquid. |
| downwelling | is the process of accumulation and sinking of higher density material beneath lower density material |
| Salinity hydrothermal vent | support ecosystems with enormous biomass and productivity compared with that observed elsewhere in the deep oceans. |
| terrestrial | of, on, or relating to the earth |
| aquatic | Of or relating to water |
| microbes | Are tiny organisms too small to see and the live everywhere. |
| sonar | a system for the detection of objects underwater and for measuring the water’s depth by emitting sound pulses and detecting or measuring their return after being reflected. |
| deep ocean trenches | Oceanic crust is formed at an oceanic ridge, while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere at trenches. |
| Chemosynthesis | a chemical reacting to make an energy source |
| Methane cold seeps | a cold seep is an area of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide , methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs, often in the form of a brine pool. |
| deep ocean technology | Underwater tools such as; scuba gear etc. |
| dissolved oxygen | with reference to a solid) become or cause to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution. |
| pH | a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution |
| Water hardness | Calcium and magnesium dissolved in water are the two most common minerals that make water hard The hardness of water is referred to by three types of measurements grains per gallon, milligrams per liter, or parts per million. |
| nitrates nitric acid | a colorless or pale yellow liquid acid that is corrosive and poisonous and has strong oxidizing properties, made in the laboratory by distilling nitrates with sulfuric acid. |
| turbity | unclear |
| Eutrophication | is the fake enrichment of a water habitat by adding nutrients, which can kill the organisms living there. |
| Bioindicators | An organism whose health is examined to determine the health of the ecosystem |
| Abiotic | without life |
| Phosphates | phosphoric acid |
| Point-source pollution | he most basic level, is water pollution that comes from a single, discrete place, typically a pipe. |
| Nonpoint source pollution | is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground waters |
| micro | organisms-is a microscopic living organism, which may be single celled or multicellular. |
| pesticides | A substance that is used to kill organisms harmful to the surrounding area. |
| stewardship | The management or care of something |
| clean water act | It monitors pollution in the us water supply and the quality of surface water. |
| safe drinking act | Was made to protect our water supply but they expanded it to cover our water supply and it's sources, lakes, etc. |
| overfishing | To deplete the stock of fish in a body of water by too much fishing. |
