Water Resources

2. Partly enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from stream meets the saltwater from the sea
4. Streams that are fed by groundwater
6. Narrow, elongated landform separating individual streams within a basin
8. Ability of the rock or sediments to allow water to pass through it
9. Second layer of the ocean, where the temperature of the water decreases rapidly with depth
11. Zone or land area where water enters the ground and replenish the groundwater.
13. Reduction of the mineral content by taking salt out of the seawater to produce freshwater
14. Evaporation of water from the leaves and stems of plants
15. Impermeable rocks where water is trapped and held down by pressure between them.
17. Part of Earth’s subsystem containing the oceans, lakes, streams, underground water, and snow and ice
19. Saltiness of saltwater

1. It is only 2. 5% of Earth’s total water
3. Soil, rock or sediment that is frozen for more than two consecutive years
5. Process whereby too much soil and sediments are delivered to streams
7. When this occurs, river flow increases, and the volume of the world ocean increases, resulting to a rise in sea level and reduced land area
9. Smaller streams
10. Process whereby rain that falls into land surface penetrates the soil
12. Land areas where water covers the surface for significant periods
16. This is a zone in which the spaces between the particles are filled mainly with air.
18. Flood that occurs when heavy rainfall creates a flood event independent of an overflowing stream
