Land, Water, and Human Interactions

5. A measure of how well one set of data relates to another
8. A representation of a system used to understand how something works
9. The effect on living organism and their nonliving environment due to human activities
10. Water found underground in spaces and cracks within the earth
13. Water changing forms and moving back and forth through the air and land
18. The process of liquid (such a water) gaining heat energy to become a gas (such as water vapor)
21. One factor causes an effect on another factor
23. Animals without backbones that are large enough to be seen without magnification
24. Earth process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces. Rocks crack, crumble, break apart over time by water and wind.
25. A near shore area of water with little or no dissolved oxygen and therefore, very few organisms
27. The process of a solid (such as ice) gaining heat energy to become a liquid (such as water)
29. Excess rainfall, melted snow, or irrigation water that flows across the ground
30. Lessen the impact
32. Earth process that breaks down earth material. Water eroding a hillside is an example.
33. Measure and keep track of
34. The process of a gas (such as water vapor) losing hear energy to become a liquid (such as water)

1. Sediments settle out of flowing water, ice, or wind and drop to the ground when the current slows
2. The shape of the land with its various elevation in an area. The collection of landforms in an area
3. A wanted outcome given up to gain another possible wanted outcome
4. Earth processes that build up earth material
6. Any visible sign that shows the conditions of the system being studied
7. Fan shaped landform that develops where sediments are deposited in one area as a result of flowing water
11. Measure of the condition of the water based on its characteristics. How pure the water is and what else is in it
12. Information that supports a claim
14. Any physical, chemical, or biological substance in water
15. Mix the particles of one substance evenly into the particles of another
16. Things that limit or restrict a design
17. Small pieces of material that settle on a surface
19. Minimum requirements for how a design must function
20. Line on a topographic map that represents a specific elevation relative to sea level
22. A flat two-dimensional map that is a model of the actual three-dimensional shape of the land surface
26. Chemicals that an organism takes in to use as a source of energy or as building blocks for growth
28. The process of liquid (such as water) losing heat energy to become a solid (such as ice)
31. The removal of sediments from an area by flowing water, wind, or gravity
