Evaporation		The process of water changing from water vapor into tiny droplets to form clouds.
Sublimation		The process of liquid water changing into water vapor.
Precipitation		The process of ice evaporating into gas.
Condensation		The process where water droplets are too heavy to stay in clouds and fall as rain, sleet, hail or snow.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Floodplain		The process of water soaking into the soil and in between rock layers.
Infiltration		The process where water flows/runs downhill from land surfaces into rivers and streams and then back to the ocean/
Surface Runoff		The water stored beneath the surface of the earth.
Groundwater		Floodplain is an area around a waterway that periodically floods with too much water.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Permeable		Impermeable/impervious surfaces are solid surfaces that don't allow water to penetrate, forcing it to run off. Ex. Concrete
Deposition		Allows water to sink into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table adding to the groundwater. Ex. Soil
Impermeable		The washing away of material from the bed or outsides curves of the river or stream.
Erosion		The depositing of materials at the inside curve of a river or stream.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Geological Oceanography		The study of the chemical composition of seawater and its interaction with the atmosphere and the sea floor.
Chemical Oceanography		The study of how marine organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment, and interact with it.
Biological Oceanography		The study of the ocean-atmosphere relationship that influences weather and climate, transmission of light and sound through water, and the ocean's interactions with its boundaries at the sea floor and the coast..
Physical Oceanography		Study of the ocean floor and the processes that form its mountains, canyons, and valleys.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Seafloor spreading		The hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other.
Continental Drift Theory		A supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
Continental Crust		The part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. Relatively thin and dense.
Pangaea		The outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that makes up the planet's continents and continental shelves.
Oceanic Crust		The formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at midocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.

Convergent boundary		The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
Transform Boundary		Where plates move towards each other.
Subduction		Where plates are moving away from each other.
Divergent Boundary		Where plates are slding past each other.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Abyssal plain		An underwater mountain range
Trench		The shallow, submerged edge of the continent.
Mid Ocean Ridge		Long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor.
Continental Shelf		Broad flat areas of sediment-covered ocean floor found between the continental margins and the mid-ocean ridges

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Photic Zone		The bottom portion of the ocean.
Aphotic Zone		The depth of the water where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur.
Benthic Zone		The depth of the water where there is little or no sunlight.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Littoral		Part of the ocean floor from low tide to 200m down the edge of the continental shelf; permanently submerged under water.
Supralittoral		Part of the ocean floor between high and low tide. Sometimes submerged.
Sublittoral		Past of the ocean floor above the high tide zone that is regularly splashed, but not submerged by ocean water.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Brackish		Bodies of flowing water such as rivers and streams.
Lotic		Bodies of standing water such as lakes, ponds, and wetlands.
Lentic		Slightly salty, as is the mixture of river water and seawater in estuaries.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Littoral		Open water too deep for rooted plants but has light.
Profundal		Shallow area with rooted plants and waves – light through to bottom
Limnetic		Deep part of lake with no light

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Cohesion		The surface film or "Skin" of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer.
Adhesion		Water molecules are attracted to water molecules
Surface tension		Water molecules are attracted to other substances.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Dissolved oxygen		A reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide
Salinity		The amount of free oxygen that is present in water.
Ocean Acidification		The saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Buoyancy		How much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass).
Viscosity		The ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.
Density		A liquid's resistance to flow due to internal friction.
