Part 2 review water

Match the word to the correct definition:

Porosity

•  the level where the rocks and soil are filled with water.

• the ability of a rock or sediment to let water pass through its open spaces or pores.

• the percentage of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists of open spaces.

• a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater. 

Match the word to the correct definition:

Permeability

• the percentage of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists of open spaces.

• the ability of a rock or sediment to let water pass through its open spaces or pores.

•  the level where the rocks and soil are filled with water.

• the ability of a rock or sediment to let water pass through its open spaces or pores.

What is an "Aquifer"?

• a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater.

• A type of storage for water in the city.

• A type of well that needs to be filled up with water.

• A type of lake that goes from shallow to deep.

According to the image, what percent of freshwater is surface and other freshwater?

• 20.9%

• 1.2%

• 30.1%

• 2.5%

As the vapor rises, it __________ to form clouds. Eventually the water in clouds falls back to the Earth.

• condenses

• combusts

• contracts

• coagulates

_________ water that contains a higher concentration of dissolved salts, typically found in the ocean.

• Fresh Water

• ionized water

• Salt Water

• ocean water

What is the "water table"

• How much water is in the soil

• How much condensation there is in the clouds before it rains.

• How deep the lake is.

•  the level where the rocks and soil are filled with water.

An area in which water travels downward to become part of an aquifer.

• Water Table

• Recharge Zone

• Porosity

• River System

Why are recharge zones environmentally sensitive areas?

• Because any sort of pollution can runoff and enter the aquifer.

• Because animals drink water from the Aquifer, so we need to be careful.

• Because we dig so much of it out.

The size of an aquifer’s recharge zone is affected by the __________ of the surface above the aquifer.

• pollution

• porosity

• permeability

• contaimination
