Semester 1 Final - 2022 (Aquatic Science) (M)

The process of water changing from water vapor into tiny droplets to form clouds.

The process of liquid water changing into water vapor.

The process of ice evaporating into gas.

The process where water droplets are too heavy to stay in clouds and fall as rain, sleet, hail or snow.

The process of water soaking into the soil and in between rock layers.

The process where water flows/runs downhill from land surfaces into rivers and streams and then back to the ocean/

The water stored beneath the surface of the earth.

Floodplain is an area around a waterway that periodically floods with too much water.

Impermeable/impervious surfaces are solid surfaces that don't allow water to penetrate, forcing it to run off. Ex. Concrete

Allows water to sink into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table adding to the groundwater. Ex. Soil

The washing away of material from the bed or outsides curves of the river or stream.

The depositing of materials at the inside curve of a river or stream.

Part of the ocean floor from low tide to

200m down the edge of the continental

shelf; permanently submerged under water.

Part of the ocean floor between high and

low tide. Sometimes submerged.

Past of the ocean floor above the high tide

zone that is regularly splashed, but not

submerged by ocean water.

Bodies of flowing water such as rivers and streams.

Bodies of standing water such as lakes, ponds, and wetlands.

Slightly salty, as is the mixture of river water and seawater in estuaries.

Open water too deep for rooted plants but has light.

Shallow area with rooted plants and waves – light through to bottom

Deep part of lake with no light

The bottom/floor of the water body

The surface film or "Skin" of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer.

Water molecules are attracted to water molecules

Water molecules are attracted to other substances.

A reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide

The amount of free oxygen that is present in water.

The saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water

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).

The ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.

The uneven distribution of electrons causing water to have a slightly negative charge near the oxygen atom and a slightly positive charge near the hydrogen atoms.

The process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of any external forces.

Is toxic --> Causes frayed fins, cloudy eyes, lack of appetite, laying on the bottom

Not Toxic --> Can be absorbed by live plants and cause fish stress. Gets into tank through bacteria.

Is Toxic --> Causes Gulping of air, Lethargy, staying near the top, and brown gills

Not Toxic --> Can Cause algae and plant growth
