Surface Water and Groundwater

3. Forms where the water table intersects the surface.
5. The movement of surface water into rock or soil through cracks and pore spaces
13. A process where plants release water into the atmosphere
15. Average annual precipitation equals the amount of water in evaporation and transpiration
16. The lowest point a stream can erode.
19. Occurs after heavy rainfall or rapid spring thaw.
20. Stream sediments bouncing along the stream bottom
22. The shape of stream valley that has rapids and waterfalls.
23. An area of land that contributes runoff to a stream.
28. Stream sediments in suspension
29. What determines a streams ability to move materials?
30. Cavern formation that hang from the ceiling.

1. Stream materials in solution
2. The ability to transmit fluid.
4. Occurs when a streams velocity decreases.
6. Permeable rock layers that transmit groundwater easily.
7. A ridge that parallels streams and is formed from repeated flooding.
8. Where groundwater is found in the Earth.
9. A depression on the Earth's surface that forms when groundwater has dissolved underlying rock.
10. The volume of water flowing in a stream at a specific point and unit of time.
11. The unending circulation of Earth's water supply
12. A wide and flat river valley.
14. Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park is an example.
17. Deposition of sediments where a river meets a lake or ocean.
18. Bends in a river channel in broad, flat floodplain.
21. Cavern formation that forms on the floor.
24. A stream that empties into another stream.
25. The slope or steepness of a stream channel.
26. The maximum sediment load that a stream can carry.
27. A naturally formed underground chamber formed when carbonic acid dissolves calcite.
