StwoK

=StwoK= Water Channel - Hydrosphere - The part of the Earth that is dealing with water. Pore Spaces - The spaces within a rock body that are unoccupied by solid material. Pore spaces include spaces between grains, fractures, vesicles, and voids formed by dissolution.

Reservoir - Can be man made or Natural, a area where water can be stored and not soaked into the ground due to rocks. Erosional - The process of eroding of the conditions of erosion. Sinkholes - SInk holes are underground caves and area's created by water carving trough rock, Eventually the weight and pressure from above causes the ground to break trough. Subterranean - An area underground that has been carved out by natural processes. Precipitation - Part of the water cycle, this is where moisture in the air has weight and falls to the ground. Groundwater - Water that has been absorbed into the soil and stored under the soil. Evaporate - The process in the water cycle where water is put back into the atmosphere. Impervious - This means to no allow or pass. Belt of Soil Moisture - An area where moisture is prevalent. Infiltration - The process where water is passed trough the soil and is filitured.

Transpiration - The evoporation of water trough the aerial parts of plants. Zone of Saturation - Underground region where every opening is filled with water. Water Table - Upper surface for the zone of saturation Capillary Fringe -The is the cappillary fringe subsurface layer in which groundwater seeps up from a water table by capillary action to fill pores Surface Tension - Surface Tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet Zone of Aeration - The area right before the ground surface. Topography - Topography is the study of Earth's surface features or those of planets, moons, and asteroids.

Permeability - Permeability is a measure of the ability of a material to transmit fluids Gaining Stream - Streams that receive groundwater discharge are gaining streams. Losing Stream - A losing stream is a stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream Saturated Zone - Area with ground with ground water. Next
