24
Porosity & | Permeability are
Soil type
25
Ability of soil or rock to transmit, move water
Permeability
26
Ability of soil/rock to hold water
Porosity
27
This souls doesn't hold or move water
Cali soil
28
Highly permeable rocks are called
Aquifers
29
Rocks that prevent movement
Aquicludes
30
Zone of aeration Zone of saturation Zone of confined water Waterless zone
Hydrologic zones (for water distributions)
31
This zone is made up of clay, it can hold water but cannot transmit
Zone of saturation
32
In the broadest viewpoint there is "" ocean/s
Only one on earth
33
Divides into four components/oceans:
Atlantic pacific Arctic and Indian oceans
34
46%
Pacific
35
23%
Atlantic
36
4%
Arctic
37
20%
Indian
38
``` 2x larger than any other body Deepest Strongest storms Major volcanoes Typhoons ```
Pacific
39
Slightly less deeper then pacific
Atlantic
40
Smaller and shallower
Arctic
41
Slightly less deeper than Atlantic
Indian
42
These are the greatest vertical movements caused by gravitational pull between moon and earth and sun and earth
Tides
43
Waters tend to be colder in the
East
44
These are 2x stronger than solar tides
Lunar tides
45
This accounts for the variations of the sun moon and earths tidal range
Juxtaposition
46
When the moon & sun are neither aligned nor at right angles to each other we have (45)
Normal levels if high tides on both sides of earth
47
When the sun earth and moon are positioned along the same line (spring tides) 180
The highest tides are produced
48
When the line jinni earth and the moon forms a right angle w/ the line joining earth and the sun (neap tides) 90
The lowest high tides are produced
49
Vertical difference between high and low ride
Tidal range
50
Caspian sea -Asia Lake Superior -N America Lake Victoria -Africa
Worlds largest lakes
51
Flattish places submerged in water part of the time, shallow enough to permit water tolerant plant growth
Swamps/ marshes
52
Mostly trees
Swamps
53
Mostly grasses
Marshes
54
Rivers are bigger than
Streams
55
Nile - Africa Amazon - S America Missouri Mississippi - N America
Longest rivers
56
Amazon -S America Congo - Africa Yangtze - Asia
Largest rivers
57
``` Zone of aeration Saturation Confined water Waterless Are all part of ```
Underground water
58
Solids water and air
Awration
59
All pores/cracks are fully saturated w water. Includes a water table
Saturation
60
Water will rise if well placed here
Confined water
61
No water because overlying pressure increases the density of the rock and so there are no pores
Waterless zone
