Fundelmentals of science (1/4 travel cards) +( reservoir just in case)

Study for the reservoirs and travel cards

Infiltration

The movement of surface water going into rocks and soil through pore spaces, and cracks.

Evaporation

Process of water converting states from liquid to gas.

Condensation

Process of water converting states from gas to liquid.

Freezing

Process of substance (water) changing states from liquid to solid.

Precipitation

Water being released from clouds as rain, sleet, snow, or hail.

Melting

Process of solid changing into liquid state.

Transpiration

Release of water vapor to the atmosphere by plants.

Surface runoff

Water that flows over the land’s surface.

Seepage

Water that flows from within soil out onto the surface.

Sublimation

Conversion of solid state changing into a gas state without passing the liquid state.

Groundwater flow

The movement of water within groundwaters layer beneath the grounds surface.

Ocean currents

Movement of huge amount of water (masses) within the ocean due to current winds, and water density differences.

Respiration/Excretion/Evaporation

Release of water from organisms (mainly animals).

Consumption/Absorption of Water

Consumption of water by organism such as plants and animals.

Desublimation

Conversion of gas state changing into solid state without passing through liquid state.

Advection

The horizontal movement of water through Earths atmosphere regardless of its phase.

Resevoirs

Im Ready!

Mountain Glaciers

Masses of ice that forms on mountain slopes and valleys

Lakes, Ponds, Puddles

Liquid water collected and pooled on the ground surface.

Living Organism

Animals, Plants, Fungi, & Microorganism

Polar Ice

Water stored in ice and snow near the North/South Poles.

Clouds

Visible masses of water droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

Groundwater

Water located under the ground in spaces between gravel, sand, silt, clay particles, or cracks in rocks.

Ocean

Major bodies of saline (salt) water on the surface.

Rivers & Streams

Water (usually freshwater) flowing in channels over the ground.
