A hole dug into an aquifer to reach groundwater is called...

an aquitard/aquiclude

a well

a recharge zone

a water table

The figure shows many of the components of a typical watershed.

Which of the following would happen if precipitation increased within the watershed boundary?

The water table would rise

Hillside infiltration would be reduced.

Boundaries of the watershed would expande Earth's surface

a recharge zone would be diminished

What is a hole dug below the water table that water seeps into?

well

Spring

Aquifer

Reservoir

What is an underground layer of rock or soil filled with water called?

well

Spring

Aquifer

Reservoir

What is the top of the water-filled spaces in the ground called? (hint: it shows what the water level is in the aquifer)

Groundwater

Reservoir

Water Table

Well

An aquifer is a(n)

well in which water rises because of pressure

underground layer of rock or sediment that holds water

type of hot spring from which the water periodically erupts

place where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock

What is the water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers called?

Groundwater

Water Table

precipitation

Snow

Because they have large connected pores, materials such as sand and gravel allow water to pass through. This is known as

permeable

impermeable

The top of the groundwater’s zone of saturation - E

Surface water

Water table

Aquifer

Zone of Aeration

When water goes from liquid at Earth's surface to vapor in Earth's atmosphere, that is called

evaporation

transpiration

precipitation

condensation

When water vapor turns to liquid, clinging to either dust particles or cold surfaces, that is

precipitation

transpiration

condensation

evaporation

When water, ice, or snow falls from clouds to the earth, that is

evaporation

precipitation

transpiration

condensation

What is a river that flows into another river?

stream

tributary

watershed

reservoir

What river feature does this picture show?

Tributary

Estuary

Meander

Divide

Look at the diagram of a stream with toxic chemicals flowing into it.

This diagram models how toxic runoff can pollute a stream and also

produce acid rain.

cause soil erosion

create algae blooms.

pollute groundwater.

What river feature does this picture showLook at the list of features of a watershed below a highway.
1. roadside soil and plants
2. nearby lakes and streams
3. underground water system
4. wells for drinking water
Which of these features belong in a model of how salt used to melt ice on roads can damage the environment?

1, 2, 3 & 4

How does subsidence affect the land?

It causes salination of wells as salt water mixes with groundwater 

It causes sinking due to large amounts of ground water being removed

It can result in desertification

It can result in an increase in erosion by water and wind

What is the transition between water and ocean?

Headwater

Mouth

Tributary

Estuary

In which of the following types of soil would you expect ground water to move the slowest? A.

Sandy 

Silt 

Clay 

Gravel

How does the replacement of large areas with concrete and asphalt affect the land?

It changes the bedrock of underlying layers of soil

It prevents the dynamics of the rock cycle

It increases the amount of groundwater in porous rock because it is impermeable

It increases erosion of sediments by increasing runoff because it is impermeable
