How does water move through a watershed?

What are streams and rivers that flow into another body of water such as a larger river, lake, bay, and ocean?

What is the area of land where excess water goes when it floods, and is a great location for farming due to the addition of soil and nutrients left behind from the receded waters?

What factors determine the type of ecosystem that is in an area?

Water supply, topography, landforms, geology, soil, sunlight, and air quality are what type of factors that impact an ecosystem?

Which type of ecosystem has fewer plants and animals?

These communities include plants, animals, fish,

birds, microorganisms, and people.

Deforestation, soil erosion from agriculture, changes in nutrient levels in the watersheds via fertilizers, and an increase in thermal pollution from parking lots are several ways that humans have negatively impacted ecosystems within the environment, which has had a negative impact on these factors.

The James, Potomac-Shenandoah, Rappahannock, and York Rivers are all part of this watershed.

These are the boundaries or transition zones between the water and the dry land. Swamps, beaches, and marshes are examples.

Estuaries are a special type of wetland/watershed that has brackish water. Brackish water is water that is

A lot of organisms come into this area to have their babies because it is safer that in an open ocean where predators can feed on the young.

These type of resources are substantial energy sources, which can be replaced in less than 100 years or had an endless supply. Examples of these energy sources are geothermal, biomass, solar, water (tidal, waves, and hydropower) and wind.

These resources are not sustainable energy sources, and cannot be easily replaced. Examples of these energy sources are: fossil fuels including, coal, natural gas, petroleum, and nuclear energy from uranium. Fossil fuels are rich in carbons and hydrogens, which make then wonderful source of energy.
