Answer 7

when water collects on Earth often in rivers or lakes; also called accumulation

Question 8

the removal and trasnport of rosk and soil

Answer 8

erosion

Question 10

when water falls from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface: rain, sleet, snow, hail

Answer 11

hydrologic cycle

Question 13

movement of water into the ground

Answer 13

infiltration

Question 14

Universal solvent

Answer 14

Water is referred to as this since it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.

Question 15

Caused by the cohesive force between water molecules which act as a “skin” on the surface of the water

Answer 15

Surface Tension

Question 17

when water evaporates from a plant

Answer 17

transpiration

Question 19

Cohesion

Answer 19

Water is attracted to water

Question 20

evaporation

Answer 20

when liquid water turns into water vapor

Question 21

high specific heat capacity

Answer 21

it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water and even more to change its state.

the amount of water a stream or river carries in a given amount of time (gallons/hour)

Answer 22

discharge

Question 24

when water collects on Earth often in rivers or lakes; also called accumulation

Answer 24

collection

Question 26

smaller streams or rivers that flow into larger ones

Answer 26

tributaries

Question 27

water that flows off of land into rivers, streams and the ocean

Answer 27

runoff
