Earth's Waters

water cycle

• the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
• The movement of deep, cold, and nutrient-rich water to the surface
• The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
• The continual movement of water among Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surface through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation

Transpiration

• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
• The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
• Is a constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity. The great ocean conveyor moves water around the globe and distributes thermal energy around the Earth.
• the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)

Condensation

• Large streams of water that flow through the ocean.
• A large-scale pattern of water circulation that moves clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
• The change of state from a gas to a liquid
• Horizontal distance between the crests or between the troughs of two adjacent waves

Precipitation

• the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)
• Is a constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity. The great ocean conveyor moves water around the globe and distributes thermal energy around the Earth.
• The movement of deep, cold, and nutrient-rich water to the surface
• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant

Groundwater

• The upper level of the saturated zone of groundwater
• water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
• When the tidal range is greatest. (full moon and new moon)
• Large streams of water that flow through the ocean.

surface tension

• A fountain of water and steam that builds up pressure underground and erupts at regular intervals.
• the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
• a river and all of its tributaries or small streams together with the watershed, the land area that supplies water to the system

capillary action

• A body of water that is surrounded by land it can be fresh water or salt water.
• a river and all of its tributaries or small streams together with the watershed, the land area that supplies water to the system
• The upper level of the saturated zone of groundwater
• allows water to move through ,materials with pores or narrow spaces

Lakes

• The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
• water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
• penetrable; porous; allowing liquids or gas to pass through
• A body of water that is surrounded by land it can be fresh water or salt water.

Wetlands

• the tide with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides
• Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
• a river and all of its tributaries or small streams together with the watershed, the land area that supplies water to the system
• Ecosystems of several types in which vegetation is surrounded by stand water during part of the year (marshes, swamps and bogs)
