- 7. a body of flowing water that is much larger and deeper than a stream; fed by smaller streams and sometimes rivers call tributaries
- 11. usually larger than a pond and has areas that are too deep for rooted plants to grow
- 14. shallow areas of swiftly flowing water
- 15. grow in deep water & are rooted in the muddy bottom. Grow entirely below the water’s surface.
- 16. when 2 second order streams meet
- 17. water water that lacks certain minerals
- 19. the place where the river enters a lake or ocean
- 21. smallest
- 23. shallow areas in a stream where the water appears white because its surface is broken as it flows over rocks

- 12. the land area that is drained when drops of rain join others to flow to a particular stream, river, lake, or wetland
- 13. when 2 first orders streams meet
- 18. when more oxygen is dissolved in water than normally would be dissolved at a given temperature
- 20. freshwater ecosystems with relatively fast –moving waster
- 22. moderate slope with 3rd or 4th order streams
- 24. slow moving body of water where the water seems to stand still
