Geolo+G's

Pg's 507-510 voids: spaces between bedrock Pore spaces: empty spaces Vesicles: empty spaces in rocks porosity: measure of pore spaces Cavities: empty holes Sorting: a technique used to even out particles Permeability: how easily water can travel through bedrock Transmit: to pass water through.. Specific yield: the amount of porosity that is drainable Specific retention: the ratio of the volume of water a rock will contain to the volume of the rock Aquitard: stops water from being transmitted Aquifers: hold water underground

Pg's 511-514


 * 1) Spring- ground water that shoots up
 * 2) Annual runoff- Water that is discharged from a watershed
 * 3) Discharge- any pollutant added to water
 * 4) Perched water Table- elevater water behind the water table
 * 5) Hot Springs- naturally hot mineral water that can heal people
 * 6) Thermal- same as a Hot Spring
 * 7) Geysers- a hot spring that erupts whenever it wants to.
 * 8) Well- shaft into the earth that you can get water from
 * 9) Irrigation - man made way to get water to crops
 * 10) Fluctuate- to rise & fall
 * 11) Drawdown- Lowering of water level in a reservoir or a well
 * 12) Depression- the land below the cone of depression
 * 13) Cone of Depression- pumping water from a well
 * 14) Hydrolic Gradient- the slope of a water table
 * 15) Heterogeneous- a system that consists of opposite items

1a. Artesian: groundwater that rises upward Aquifer: Underground layer of water Friction: Solid and water object that is permeable Nonflowing artesian well: an artesian well that Flowing artesian well: water flowing to surface with mechanical help Conduits: Pipe or channel that transports liquids Recharge: Non renewable: something that cannot be remade. Subsidence: Equilibrium: Natural resource that can not be remade or grown Unconsolidated material: reefs homogenous: mixing two things together

Pg. 519- 523 ( B)

Pg. 523- 527
 * 1) Cavern: a cave that has the ability to grow speleothems.
 * 2) Subterranean: existing below the surface
 * 3) Dripstone: Also known as stalactite. The water deposit that forms from the dripping of water in a cavern.
 * 4) Speleotherms: Limestone deposits formed by calcite in caverns
 * 5) Stalactites: Deposits of mineral water solution
 * 6) Soda straw: The formation of the water that forms from the speleotherms
 * 7) Conical: Round shaped caverns
 * 8) Stalagmites: Deposits that rise up from the floor of a cavern
 * 9) Column: The coming together of a stalagmite and a stalactite
