Interception | The capture of water by vegetation |
Stemflow | water flowing down the stem/ trank |
Infiltration | The movement of water into the soil from the surface |
Percolation | The movement of water into the rocks |
Throughflow | Sideways movement of water throught the soil |
Groundwater flow | The flow of groundwater into the river |
Groundwater storage | Water stored in rocks following percolation |
Surface runoff | Water running over the land into the river |
Evapotranspiration | Water lost from the land and vegetation. The change from a liquid into a gas |
Transpiration | Water vapour lost through pores in leaves |
Biosphere | The part of the Earth and atmosphere in which living organisms exist |
Litosphere | Outer layer of the Earth's surface |
Primary impacts | Impacts that happen as a direct result of the event |
Secondary impacts | Impacts that happen later as an inirect effect of an event |

Constructive boundary | Where two tectonic plates are moving apart |
Destructive boundary | The boundary where a continental plate and oceanic plate collide. The denser oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. |
Collision boundary | Where two continental plates collide , forming fold mountains |
Conservative boundary | Where two tectonic plates slide past each other |
Subduction zone | The area where one plate is pushed underneath another |
Mantle | The middle layer of the Earth. It lies between the crust and the core |
Asthenosphere | The upper part of the Earth's mantle that is semi-molten |
Oceanic plate | Dense crust made out of basalt |
Continental crust | The crust that forms the land. It is mostly made of granite |
Earthquake | The movement of the Earth's surface caused by the build-up of friction between tectonic plates |
Volcano | The landform created when lava erupts from the surface of the Earth |
Magma | Molten rock below the surface of the Earth |
Lava | Molten rock above the surface of the Earth |
Convection current | Currents that rise in the Earth's mantle that are strong enough to move the tectonic plates |
Epicentre | The point on the ground directly above the focus of an earthquake |
Focus | The point of origin of an earthquake. It is usually underground |
