- 9. well fountain of water that is from a confined aquifer containing water under pressure
- 11. spring with temperatures higher than that of the human body
- 14. influenced by vegetation, precipitation, soil composition, and slope
- 16. mound-shaped dripstone deposit on the floor of a cave
- 18. region below Earth's surface that is above the water table
- 23. The measure of the volume of stream water that flows over a particular location within a given period of time
- 26. The narrow channel carved over time by the water of a stream into sediment or rock layers.
- 27. when water spills over the sides of a stream's banks
- 28. the upper boundary of the zone of saturation
- 31. holes dug into the ground to reach an aquifer

- 34. The ground that borders a stream and holds the water within the confines of the channel
- 35. any high land area that separates one watershed from another
Down
- 1. The depth below Earth's surface at which all pores in layers of soil are filled with water
- 2. marshes, swamps, and bogs are types
- 4. produced in limestone regions that have sinkholes and sinking streams
- 6. localized natural discharges of groundwater at Earth's surface
- 7. the method of transport for all particles small enough to be held up by the turbulence of a stream's moving water
- 8. Process by which lakes become rich in nutrients from the surrounding watershed, resulting in a change in the kinds of organisms in the lake.
- 10. explosive hot spring that erupts regulary
- 12. collapsing caves or dissolution of bedrock at the surface
- 13. the vertical movement of water through ground layers

- 19. barrier to groundwater flow
- 20. all of the permeable layers at a location
- 21. sediments that are transported by streams but are too large to be held up in suspension
- 22. a bend or curve in a stream channel
- 24. icicle-shaped deposits hanging from the ceiling of caves
