Hydrosphere- The water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere.  Pore Spaces-soil texture, structure and the activity of beneficial soil organisms Reservoir- A small body of standing water; pond. Erosional- The process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc. Sinkholes- A natural depression in a land surface. Subterranean- Existing, situated, or operating below the surface of the earth; underground. Precipitation- falling products of condensation in the atmosphere Groundwater- water beneath the surface of the ground Evaporate- to disappear or fade: change from a liquid or solid state into vapor Impervious- Incapable of being affected Infiltration- liquid through a filtering medium Transpiration- water through a plant from the roots Zone of aeration- area where all the pore space in the ground is filled with water Topography- Graphic representation of the surface features of a place Permeability- permit the flow of fluids through its pore spaces Gaining streams- Streams that receive groundwater discharge Losing streams- Streams that lose water to the adjacent aquifer Saturated zone- ground water Sara's



Channel-the bed of a stream, river, or other waterway Hydrosphereter portion of our planet Pore Spaces-soil texture, structure and the activity of beneficial soil organisms Reservoir- where water is collected and stored for use Erosional- surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers Sinkholes- depression in a land surface Subterranean- situated or constructed underground Precipitation- falling products of condensation in the atmosphere Groundwater- water beneath the surface of the ground Evaporate- to disappear or fade: change from a liquid or solid state into vapor Impervious- Incapable of being affected Infiltration- liquid through a filtering medium Transpiration- water through a plant from the roots Zone of aeration- area where all the pore space in the ground is filled with water Topography- Graphic representation of the surface features of a place Permeability- permit the flow of fluids through its pore spaces Gaining streams- Streams that receive groundwater discharge Losing streams- Streams that lose water to the adjacent aquifer Saturated zone- ground water Voids-Containing no matter Vesicles- cavity formed in volcanic rock Porosity- volume of the pores or interstices of a substance Sorting- sedimentary particles become separated Permeability- capability of a porous rock or sediment to permit the flow of fluids through its pore spaces Transmit- transfer to another Specific yield- hydrologic parameter related to the volume of water an aquifer will yield as a result of gravity drainage Specific retention- ratio of the volume of water the rock or sediment will retain against the pull of gravity Aquitard- low permeable sedimentary layers Aquifers- bodies of earth material that have the ability to hold and transmit water Springs- a water resource Annual runoff- the amount of water running over the land surface Discharge- velocity of flow Perched water table- impermeable layer beneath this type of groundwater  Thermal- the energy portion of a system that increases with its temperature Geysers- hot springs that erupt fountains of scalding water Well- A hole drilled or bored into the earth to obtain water Irrigation- water to the soil Fluctuate- To rise and fall in or as if in waves Drawdown – a lowering of water surface level Cone of depression- Groundwater flows towards the well Hydraulic gradient- Slope of a water table Heterogeneous- Coastal streams that flow through flats and gentle slopes `Artesian- water rising to the surface under internal hydrostatic pressure Friction- surface resistance to relative motion Non flowing artesian well- Occurs when the pressure at this point in the artesian aquifer is less than the depth of the well Flowing artesian well- surface is above the land surface Conduits- pipe or channel for conveying fluids Recharge- process that allows water to replenish an aquifer Equilibrium- condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others Non renewable- a natural resource that cannot be re-made, re-grown or regenerated Subsidence- the motion of a surface as it shifts downward Unconsolidated sediments- unconsolidated soil Homogeneous- composed of parts or elements that are all of the same kind Sewage- the waste matter that passes through sewers Percolates- to pass through a porous substance or small holes Assimilate- be absorbed into the system Purification-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> to make clean Contamination-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> preparation impure or harmful Hazardous-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> dangerous, unsafe Excavations-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> A hole formed Calcium carbonate-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> salt found in nature Caverns-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> large underground chamber Subterranean- <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">beneath the earth's surface Dripstone-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> protective drip that is made of stone Speleotherms- limestone deposits which are created by calcite Stalactites-<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> An icicle-shaped mineral deposit Soda straw- is a speleotherm in the form of a hollow mineral tube Conical- type of laboratory glassware which consists of a **conical** cup Stalagmites- speleotherm that rises from the floor of a limestone cave Column- one or more vertical blocks of text positioned on a page Karst topography- landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock
