large, fast-flowing water
small, fast-flowing water
a smaller body of water, surrounded by land
a larger body of water, surrounded by land
low lying areas of land, that act as a sponge for water
water systems that exist above ground
water systems that exist below ground
the area around a river that would become covered if it were to flood
the addition of unwanted substances into groudwater
the amount of matter suspended in water determines this
rock and soil that have pore spaces that are connected
soil or rock that has small to none pore spaces, that water cannot penetrate
water that doesn't soak into the ground
marks left by rock trapped in a retreating glacier
the layer of porous rock that is saturated with water
an underground source of water, resulting when pore spaces are filled above an impermeable underground layer
a drainage basin, where all water in that area drains into one body of water
the amount of water discharged by a watershed
the movement of sediments from one area to another
eroded sediments settling out of the water when it slows down
upstream areas of a watershed, where the water originates
the endpoint of water flowing through a watershed
water east of this flows to the Hudson Bay, and goes west to the Pacific Ocean
a pollutant in which water originates from a widespread area
the source of a pollutant that contaminates from a small, defined area
huge mass of ice and snow, creating a continent-sized glacier
a glacier that forms in a mountain range
more flexible closer to its melting point
ice that is rarely over 5 meters thick and breaks easily
large chunks of ice calving off a continental glacier
eroded material that piles up on the sides of a retreating glacier
glaciers drop sediment as it melts - this is a mix of rocks, clay and sand
winding ridge formed by flowing water
diseases or a virus that get into water
decaying bodies of plants or animals that spread nutrients into the water
amount of salt dissolved into the water
highest point in a wave
lowest point in a wave
a current or wave that carries and erodes tons of sediment
have no flowers, roots or leaves, do photosynthesis, and get nutrients from the water they live in
rooted to the bottom of lake/ocean floor, have stomata on top of leaves, and flexible
extremely small, require light to photosynthesis, are made of silica, weird shape with long spikes, have adaptations to stop sinking
diseases and contaminates that get into water
the minerals and dissolved solids that get into water
when harmful chemicals get into the atmosphere and mix with water vapor
water at _ temperature at its most dense
when a pollutant spreads from an aquatic plant and into the food chain, making it widespread
small cracks in the ocean ridge spread gases such as sulfur into the ocean
bacteria that goes through a process to consume the sulfur coming from sea-floor vents
5 main water quality standards of the Alberta government
water that is drained from homes, industries and business
a large underground storage tank for drained water used most commonly in rural areas
sewage that has been treated
water that is safe to drink
name the seven stages of water treatment
to purify water by turning it into water vapour, condense it, and take the resulting liquid
