Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the terms to the correct definition.
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.
Match the correct term to the definition.
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.
Match the correct term to the definition.
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
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
Match the term to the correct definition.
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
Match the term to the correct definition.
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.
