Hydrosphere Review

2. animals that obtain their needed carbon by eating other animals
4. a place in the ground that can hold water; frequently consists of cracked rock allowing water to move into it
6. an event caused when warm water is blown away by wind, allowing cold water to rise from below
10. the type of waves that happen at the shore when the crest of a wave spills over the trough of the wave
11. groundwater, rivers, lakes, ponds, ice sheets, and water vapor are examples of this
13. deep body of freshwater that are cold and dark at the bottom with few or no plants because sunlight cannot reach the bottom
14. break down dead plants and animals, returning carbon to the soil
17. the change of water from liquid form to gas form
18. a substance that water cannot move through; for example clay and granite
20. shallow body of fresh water where light can reach the bottom and therefore, many plants grow
22. where humans have drilled down to the water table for the purpose of accessing groundwater
23. flooded forest, acidic areas in the north, and grassy areas of shallow water are all freshwater __________________________________.
24. the change of water from a gas form to a liquid form

1. intertidal, neritic, and open-ocean are the main ocean ______________________.
3. the deep ocean, the open ocean, and the _________________ are the sections of the ocean floor
5. energy of motion; turns tidal turbines to create electricity
7. currents that move slowly, are cold, and are caused by a difference in density
8. obtain carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and through photosynthesis use to sun’s energy to make their own food
9. the return of water to the Earth’s surface in the form of rain, sleet, snow, etc.
12. a substance water can move through; for example gravel, cracked rocks, and soil
15. made up of runoff, streams, tributaries, rivers, and watersheds
16. the open-ocean zone of the ocean is divided into the surface zone, the _______________ zone, and the deep zone.
19. type of well consisting of groundwater stuck between impermeable layers of the ground that uses natural pressure to bring water to the surface
21. an increase in this causes the mass of water to increase, the bouyancy to increase, and the freezing point to decrease
