Water availibility

Which type of aquifer is surrounded above and below by layers of rock that things don't move through.

• unconfined aquifer

• confined aquifer

• well

• aquitard

Which type of aquifer has the water table at its top

• aquafina

• confined aquifer

• unconfined aquifer

• artesian well

What describes an artesian well? There are multiple answers.

• a polluted well

• a well that is drilled into a confined aquifer

• a well that is drilled into an unconfined aquifer

• Because of pressure, water just rises up in this type of well.

Water stored  in cracks and pores below the Earth's surface is called:

• Groundwater
• Bogs
• Water in the ground
• surface water

What do we call a large underground layer of rock with space that holds water?

• Reservoir

• Aquifer

• Groundwater

• Watershed

How much of Earth's water is FRESH water? (Choose the closest number -round it)

• 75%

• 3%

• 97%

• 66%

Plants release water into the atmosphere through a process called:

• evaporation

• transpiration

• infiltration

• precipitation

What is the water cycle?

• the 3 forms of water
• the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
• when water melts
• when clouds form

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation

Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are all examples of  ________________. 

• evaporation
• condensation
• accumulation
• precipitation
