HYDROLOGY

5. Shelf - the area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean.
8. - the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind, and water density.
10. off - the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, stormwater, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.
11. - water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
12. - the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
14. - the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata.
16. - the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object.
17. - water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
18. - an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas.

1. - a seamount with a flat top.
2. - rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
3. Slope - the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
4. Vent - an opening in the sea floor out of which heated mineral-rich water flows.
6. - the flora and fauna found on the bottom, or in the bottom sediments, of a sea, lake, or other body of water.
7. Source Pollution -any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged
9. - the tidal mouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream.
11. Rise - a sediment underwater feature found between the continental slope and the abyssal plain.
13. Source Pollution - rainfall or snowmelt, moving over and through the ground, picks up and carries natural and human-made pollutants, depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground waters.
15. Plain - an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor.
18. - land consisting of marshes or swamps.
