Water Review

3. a state of matter with fast particle movements
4. a common type of drinking water that is often found in icecaps and glaciers
7. drinking water that has been treated to meet standards for consumption
9. a type of aquifer that has direct contact with the atmosphere
10. the upper-level underneath the ground that is permanently saturated with water
12. anything that has mass and volume
14. a hole drilled into the ground that accesses water from an aquifer
15. a type of water that is less salty than saltwater, but less salty than freshwater
18. when water goes from vapour to liquid (forming clouds)
20. how salty water is or how much salt has dissolved in water
22. an area where rivers connect with the sea
23. a stream or river that flows into a larger river
24. where two flowing bodies of water, like two rivers meet to form a larger channel
25. a state of matter with very slow particle movements
26. the measure of how much water vapour is in the air

1. when the water droplets in the clouds become too heavy and fall to the ground
2. an area of land where surface water drains down into a common set of streams and rivers
5. when water goes from liquid to vapour
6. contains roughly 3.5% salt
8. where groundwater returns to the Earth’s surface through a natural opening
11. a state of matter with medium speed particle movements
13. a slow moving, large mass of ice that stays frozen over a long period of time
16. total dissolved solids
17. a type of aquifer that is surrounded by many rocks and clay materials
19. a natural underground area where water fills the space between rocks and sediments
21. when water is evaporated from the leaves of plants
24. the part of the Earth’s surface that has solid water
