  1. 1. currents a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by forces acting upon this mean flow,
  2. 6. heat capacity the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount
  3. 8. to restore to a former state; make fresh or new again
  4. 10. a large underground chamber, typically of natural origin, in a hillside or cliff
  5. 11. a steep temperature gradient in a body of water such as a lake, marked by a layer above and below which the water is at different temperatures
  6. 12. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land
  7. 13. the electric current per unit area of cross section. It is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space
  8. 14. the system of springs and shock absorbers by which a vehicle is cushioned from road condition
  9. 15. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
  10. 18. a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and the hydrosphere
  11. 21. to pass into or through a substance by filtering or permeating
  12. 23. climates a climate typical of the west coasts at the middle latitudes of continents, and generally features warm summers

  2. 3. the degree of compactness of a substance
  3. 4. a body of water that consists of all the waters (tributaries, lakes, reservoirs ground water etc.) that flows (drains) down towards the river
  4. 5. a tapering structure hanging like an icicle from the roof of a cave, formed of calcium salts deposited by dripping water
  5. 6. the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May and in the southern hemisphere from September to November
  6. 7. climates the temparture and weather on the inner part of a country

  10. 17. water water that collects on the surface of the ground.
  11. 19. the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations
  12. 20. a riverbank that consists of the terrain alongside the bed of a river, creek, or stream
  13. 22. the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
  14. 24. a deep hole made in the ground through which water can be removed
  15. 25. the level of the sea's surface, used in reckoning the height of geographical features such as hills and as a barometric standard
