  2. The change of water molecules from a gas to a liquid

  3. What is condensation?

  4. Water, in its three states, solid, liquid, and gas, moves from one place to another in a continuous cycle

  5. What is the water cycle?

  6. The change of water from a liquid to a gas

  7. What is evaporation?

  8. Water droplets that are formed around a particle of dust, become heavier than air, and fall to earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail

  9. What is precipitation?

  10. The process by which rocks break down into various earth materials

  11. What is weathering?

  12. Name three forms of precipitation

  13. What are rain, snow, sleet, and hail?

  14. List two things that can prevent flooding.

  15. What are: • Dams • Levees

  16. List the four components of soil.

  17. What are: 1. Sand 2. Clay 3. humus 4. gravel

  18. List the three states (or forms) of water.

  19. What are solid, liquid, and gas?

  20. Soil components that have been eroded and deposited by moving water

  21. What are sediments?

  22. Electricity created by stored water or water from a reservoir

  23. What is hydroelectric power?

  24. An artificial lake formed by a dam to store excess runoff

  25. What is a reservoir?

  26. Trees, shrubs, grasses, twigs, leaves, and bark that cover and lay on the ground

  27. What is ground cover?

  28. A view of the land with natural scenery

  29. What is a landscape?

  30. A “bird’s eye view” or a view from above

  31. What is an aerial view?

  32. deposited sediment that forms in a triangular shape at the mouth of a stream

  33. What is a delta?

  34. Small streams that join and flow with larger streams and make a river

  35. What are tributaries?

  36. Large sweeping curves in a stream caused by the erosion of soil on one bank and the depositing of it on the other

  37. What are meanders?

  38. The place where water from a stream finally enters a lake or ocean

  39. What is the mouth?

  40. The speed at which a stream flows

  41. What is velocity?

  42. Water that soaks into the earth

  43. What is ground water?

  44. A waterproof box that contains sand, gravel, and other soil components and that has a water source

  45. What is a stream table?

  46. Water that flows over the surface of land

  47. What is runoff?

  48. The wearing away and moving of particles of soil and rock

  49. What is erosion?

  50. The amount of water that passes a given point in the channel in a given amount of time
